Problems opening GUI
#1
OK i have a home serve that runs windows server 2003 enterprise, 2.8 P4, 512Gb.

I installed srcsd for CSS by the book. ran updates, everything. I can use the command line to start/stop the server but what ever i do i CAN NOT open the GUI. i can enter the server there is no problem there. i also tried to install it on my desktop witch runs vista, same thing. nether will open GUI. what am i doing wrong? i would not be surprised if it something simple.

i added a screen shot, let me know if im doing anything wrong.

thank you

What command are you using to start up the server?
Why do you need the GUI?

i use this command:
c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map (name) -maxplayers (#) -autoupdate

how do i customize settings with out the GUI? server name stuff like that.

To customize settings you use a server.cfg

-autoupdate doesn't work on windows, you can delete that

If you really really really want to use GUI, which I do NEVER EVER recommend, remove the -console parameter.

There is a whole thread on these forums on server.cfg examples

I have an example in a tutorial too.
