How are you starting your server. Are you running your server from console or are you running it as GUI.

[nightwarrior]

i do in console but what is GUI if i may ask

[Drocona]

GUI is the Graphical User Interface provided by Steam, It looks green, doh, and we highly suggest NOT to use it, console has alot advantages.

please tell us what exactly is the problem.. We cant help much if you say it doesnt do anything lol

You do not click srcds.exe to start the server. type this in run. c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 and hit enter. Repost your results containing what happened.
