    compatibility mode: do you need to reboot?


    I had tryed to get counter strike working properly (was stuck at start screen) by changing settings in compatibility tab. Nothing was working and I gave up.

    Then I tried the next day and it magically worked !

    so yeah I'm kind of a noub and was just wondering if you ened to reboot to 'apply' the settings?

    Really? I haven't had to yet. It must be for some of the older games and their installation methods.
