After playing NS last night, i have been experiencing color problems
my desktop looks as if the gamma had been messed up so i used the reset gamma thing
but after using it, it did not seem to fix the problem
i still have strangely colored icons and start up menu icons too
these are the only two things that are affected...everything else seems fine
I've tried gamma reset
I've tried switching my color settings
I've tried resetting
i'm not sure if this is something from NS or if it is my computer...could someone help me at all?
edit: also, i think it is affecting my game as well....colors seem off, and dark

theres a message...not sure if this is whats wrong...might be
32mb Nvidia TNT2
733mhz
128 of RAM
Desktop runs at 1152x864
ingame runs at 1024x768
looks like you are in a lower colour mode....
so...what does it mean when it says
"Display Doesn't Support Downloadable Gam(ma?)" ??
anyway to change it?
this seems to have occured after i used teamspeak for the first time
i still need help with this....i might try reinstalling NS later...but before i try that, any other suggestions?
could someone with good HL knowledge tell me what "Display Doesn't Support Downloadable Gam" means? and how i can fix that?
edit: i've tried reinstalling NS, didn't work
Also, the out of game artifacts you are seeing indicate a driver issue, unrelated to NS. I don't see how NS could impact the desktop like that, before it even started.
I'd download the latest reference drivers from nvidia, and possibly spend around 50 bux on the crappiest card at the local computer store, because whatever you buy new will blow the socks off what you've got now. Get something with more than 32 meg of ram.
I had a TNT2 for a while and it didn't play very well at all with the stock windows drivers so you really need to get with nvidia and get those updated. Also make sure you have HalfLife configured to do OpenGL and not D3D. Try turning your desktop down to 800x600 and running the game at 800x600 to compensate for the fact that you've only got 32meg of video ram.
d00d, did you even read my posts?
have you tried reinstalling the drivers as was suggested though?
seems like your best bet out side of getting an actual gfx card...
