ok how far did you get so far and what is the problem you're running into now

[sdy284]

the how to guide on this site is the simplest one i found on the net...its the one i used when i set mine up for the first time

yes, if you don't have a srcds.exe file, then the download didn't complete for one reason or another. Just start over and try again is about the best thing.

Are you trying to install the standalone, or steam version? as sdy said the tut on this site is about as easy as it gets.. heres a link to it http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1097362093

it seems that i download hl2 things as well... do i juz let everything download?

[Drocona]

yeh lol Download everything

[skeletor]

yes, you need them files as well. css is more or less of mod of hl2. then again its totally different, but they share some files.
