Yea they are nice, but you can't download them :sad:

Is there a specific program to make it into a sky box or is it just a format.

And does anyone know what the list of half life ones are?

Yes there are, if you can't see them you must have weird browser issues. Get them direct from the website instead then: http://www.switchboom.com/crinity/

there is a great new browser, that works on almost every site known, its called "Internet Explorer"

a lot of people piss and moan about it, but few can truly say it sucks and mean it. most just like the sound of their own whining.

try it, you'll like it i am sure.

step 1) download regclean
step 2) download IE6
step 3) uninstall internet explorer
step 4) run regclean
step 5) install IE6

you prolly have a clash, between an older IE version, and a newer one.. you could always use netscape :sad:

I would assume it was those steps you set out that fixed it.
