"Problem Solver" All you did is copy my post.

Anyway.
Im gonna post one more time.

If you have steam , Just update your game.

If you have non-steam :

1. Copy MasterServers.vdf to config\ directory

* Standalone: C:\games\Counter-Strike Source\platform\config\MasterServers.vdf OR

* Steam: C:\Program Files\Steam\config\MasterServers.vdf

2. Make MasterServers.vdf read-only

* Right-click over MasterServers.vdf, select "Properties" and check "Read-only"

Hope this Helps. If you want to email me at Email Id removed for security thats ok.

I have the same problem and read this whole thread with no solution. I upgraded from 1.0 to 1.6 and I have no counterstrike 1.6 folder. Also no luck with downloading that file and putting it into my config folder with read-only permissions. I have a sierra folder and that's it. Any different ideas?

if u have steam go to :
the place where u downloaded steam
then steamapps and u will find cs 1.6 there

I tried everything I could...disabling my firewall, uninstalling norton, plugging my computer directly into my gateway (bypassing the router/switch), reinstallation, but the only thing that worked was installing CS into steam itself. It didn't pick up that I had it installed so I had to download it through steam...800 MBs. But it worked after that even though I already had the game installed.

Download and install Steam
Update it (should be automatic)
Click on "My Games"
If it says "Not Installed" next to Counter-Strike...
Right click Counter-Strike and select Install game

That's it!
