Do you ever get any of the following errors while trying to log on to Steam? 1) Steam authentication error ("Invalid User ID Ticket") 2) Steam.exe (main exception): Failed to create key TopKey\SteamServerAdressCache Details: CMultiFieldBlob(pSerialized): Partial field header at end of record " Here is the fix. Go to your steam folder and delete the clientregistry.blob file. Restart steam and let it re-update itself. I find this to be the cure to most of my steam problems.
Open your config.cfg file and delete the following lines. (the numbers in your file may be different)
setinfo
"s" "67108863" ****************************************************************************************

Do you use Windows XP..... Have you ever had your mouse spin out of control while paying counter strike?
The following is how to disable mouse accel in Counter-Strike and/or your desktop. / ( the "-full" makes your game play with a full screen..... totally full!) 1. Right
click on your CS shortcut
(if you dont have a
shorcut for 1.6 do this: open Steam -> click on Games -> right click on
Counter-Strike -> select Create desktop shortcut) **************************************************************************************** Issues with getting frames per seconds above 60 hz while running Windows XP???
Well I fixed my 60hz issue in counter strike with this file. Wow!!! that card really rocks now in cs.....I wasn't to impressed until I got the refresh rate up! One other thing on networking....With Windows XP they try and force you to set-up your xp box as a gateway to provide internet service to all your other computers because xp has such tight security....Warning..dont set up your network as a gateway, it will make your game play jittery. Every time one of the other computers on the network transfer data, it impacts your bandwidth while gaming. Don This is what I used for my Radeon 9700 http://www.radeon2.ru/refreshfix_eng.html
Use this for nVidia ...I haven't used it
Here is some literature discussing Windows XP refresh lock issue while playing openGL games.

Sticking keys on your keyboard getting you down? If you play as much as I, I’m sure you’ve had this issue. Here is how I solve it. I use silicon spray. Make sure you shake it up good. Pop the key out with a small screw driver and spray silicon on the underneath side of the key and then squirt it with dry powered graphite. You can get the graphite dust at any place they sell the boy scouts pine wood derby supplies. Lowe’s and Menards also carries it. A lot of places that sell keys and locks also carry it. At first the key may feel a little gritty but the graphite powder will quickly breakdown giving you a smooth key action.
Keep getting booted from counter strike while behind a linksys router??? If so make a shortcut to counter strike on your desktop and add this to the shortcut (+clientport 27016) it should look like this... "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 10 +clientport 27016 Smoothing your your video on ATI cards I run at a fixed
85fps (vertical sync on) at a resolution of 1200X1600. I get occasional
tearing of the screen with vertical sync off.
