Try completely uninstalling, that will reset the settings back to presets.

goto your games list in steam, right click on CSS, launch properties, then type in" dxlevel- 90 " this resets the graphic settings to default for directx 9.0.

Next time you start up CSS remove this from the launch properties thing, because it will reset your graphic settings every time

lol You reinstalled it?! haha oh well.

Go back to 1.6. It has more hackers, but it will give you m4d Sk1llz! I'd offer more, but they just took both my ideas. Last option (and what you should have done first) is to post on the steampowered forums that are dedicated specifically to problems like these.

Always blows my mind why people come to game forums for tech support. Its like running down the street yelling "my water heater is leaking! what do I do?!". Yeah, you're going to get answers from all kinds of people who think they know what they are talking about, but chances are the advice won't make it better and will probably make it worse. Now... let's see what the almighty google has to say about it...

I tried the TV hookup a long time ago.. using S Video.. and NEVER again will I try that.. Just buy a CRT or a cheap LCD.. Heck, they aren't even that expensive anymore(LCDs). Even a used CRT could provide you will less problems and cost maybe around 50 USD

Just delete the config file C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yourusername\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg .
