CS Connection to Server

[LordofEchoSide]

I had Windows ME and used to play CS alot. Everything worked fine. When I upgraded to XP and tried to connect it took up to 10 min to connect. this happens on all servers too. please help 🙁

when u had windows me did u have 1.3 on ur comp or 1.4?
because 1.4 takes longer to connect up because of the anti cheat stream that u download as connecting upto servers.

I'm sure it was 1.3, but when I went to XP I still had the same version. it used to take like 30 seconds and now its like 10 minutes.
