What do you mean by "nothing happens at all"?
What are you trying to do?

[Custom Killings]

i followed the instalation instructions to the letter, when i get to the part that says,

First edit (or create) c:\srcds\cstrike\cfg\server.cfg like you want it to be. Now we are ready to run the srcds.
Click Start, Run, type in the box there:
c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate
and press enter.
Your srcds is now up and running. (-game hl2mp if it's a HL2DM server ofcourse)
If you want to use the GUI mode, with the interface do not add any options to it. (just srcds.exe)

i do that but i hit enter and nothing happens i click on the srcds icon and nothing runs.

i have this same issue. i want to run the gui version. i follow the directions c:\srcds\srcds.exe and nothing happens. the console version works with recommend setting but i want to run the gui! thanks

You always have to give the -game command in order to start up in gui mode, I don't know why you want to run GUI cause it's crap compared to the console.

So if you had srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2 simply remove the -console command and hit the shortcut. It will start GUI mode then.

Oh and john112233, please resize your avatar, it doesnt fit the page(too big).

I have the same problem except i have got on my server about 4 times, but when i start the automatic restart in run----------cmd C:\srcds\srcds.bat , it just keeps restarting, and mostly ever connects?
