(unlikely, but not impossible). Am I missing something?

Hi, all.
I am having a problem playing CS:Source.
I have retail version of CS:S, have installed, unlocked and have updated
the game and Steam game menu confirms 100% completed and available to

Installed a new nVidia GF5900XT 128Mb graphics card on a AMD 1.7 system with
512Mb RAM & XP Pro SP2. Installed & ran Steam and set the graphics to D3D in
the setup options and then it all went wrong. I have uninstalled both Steam

Guys,
My machine is now nearing 4 years old.
The only mod I have needed to do to it has been to increase it's RAM.

Today, we received a msg about "new hardware found" -
   our laptop PCI modem was "found" -

OK, I just started a CSS clan with some buddys and we need to get a
server. All 3 of us tried hosting the CSS server ourselves, but it
