CS gaming tip
Run Counter-Strike in windowed mode. This tweak involves registry modification that when done improperly can cause your
system to hang. Before proceeding to the actual modification of your registry, there are thing you need to know. First obtain
your desktop screen setting. This includes monitor resolution and color depth. Your resolution should look something like
these numbers (1024x768; 800x600; 640x480; 1280x1024 or something like it) and your color depth only be 16 (High Color) or 32
(True Color). After obtaining such, you may now proceed to the editing process.
-----------> It had worked in CS 1.4 and 1.5 but never tried on CS 1.3 <---------------------
1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Half-Life\Settings
2. Look for these items
"EngineAllowWindowed" <<< Optional (it can be there or not which is just fine)
"EngineModeBPP"
"EngineModeH"
"EngineModeW"
"EngineModeWindowed"
"LauncherBPP"
"LauncherHeight"
"LauncherWidth"
----------------> all are DWORD values <--------------------
3. To run CS in windowed mode, set the following resistry entries:
EngineAllowWindowed = 1
EngineModeBPP = should match your desktop color depth (16 or 32 in decimal format!)
EngineModeH = height (should be less than your screen height resolution and conform to the 4x3 aspect
ratio such as 480, 600, 768, 1024 etc.)
EngineModeW = width (same rule for the height; 640, 800, 1024, 1280 etc.)
EngineModeWindowed = 1
LauncherBPP = should match your desktop color depth (16 or 32 in decimal format!)
LauncherHeight = ignore this
LauncherWidth = ignore this
*only possible combinations are 480x640, 600x800, etc. and should be in decimal format when entering value in the registry.
4. Close regedit and you're ready to go.

---> its not actually a tweak though!!!! just came across it!!
