Newbie here--please help!!

I just got Steam via download for CrossOver Games on Mac...but it won't open.
The icon either sits in the dock or bounces and disappears.
Nothing happens.

I've been trying for days just to play Half-Life. That's all I want to do.
I have Half-Life on Steam but because I'm running OSX, obviously I can't play without Crossover.

Someone help me out!! How can I play Half-Life 1 on CrossOver Games??

Hi again,

That's odd...Steam should at least work without
problems - can you tell us a bit more about your Mac
please?...ie; OS version/model of Mac/video card fitted..

Cheers!

I've also now found a Half-Life: Source dl that successfully installed--but won't load!! It appears in the dock, then vanishes.
This is very frustrating.

Hi,

That is most odd - it should have worked something
like this -- download crossover games, install it, then
install Steam from the menu item in crossover, start
Steam, login to your account and download/install HalfLife,
launch HalfLife...you should already be in Gordon's shoes by now ;-/

I am -really- unsure why it's not working for you sorry,
tbh it's the first time I've heard of things not working
'out of the box' on the Mac -- you might email the Codeweavers
folks about this - info@codeweavers.com - it doesn't add up.

Cheers!

Did you find a resolution to this issue? I'm seeing the same issue with an older macbook. Crossover Games installs, although with an error on the Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 portion. COG starts, I select and install Steam but starting STeam only tempoarily displays an icon in the bar. Couple of seconds later it disappears. Thanks for any info on how to correct.
