[CS] CS:S Question

It's been a while since I last played Source. I just built a new gaming machine with Vista Ultimate64. The question is, the copy of Source that I have is the one that was included with Half-Life 2. It says Windows 2000/XP. Will I be able to install that version on Vista64 and go online and play? What about updates? There are probably a gazillion updates. Would I just be better off laying down $20 for a new copy? Thanks in advance.

Re: [CS] CS:S Question

A new copy won't provide with all of the current updates anyway. There's no doubt there will be at least a couple of updates, but most of the smaller updates will be rolled-up into a larger package.

Thanks. will it play with Vista64 bit? Is there a way to just install CS without installing Half Life 2? There are 5 cd's with the version that I have.

I believe most 32 bit programs will function on a 64 bit platform.

if you have something in the box with a CD key your best route would be to install Steam first and enter your CD key through that...especially if you have reservations about a vista install...

that way you know you are not only going to be compatible but you will be fully updated as well...
