Once you have the client installed, it will launch, but you will not be able to join any servers, you'll get an error dialog box claiming the version of your game does not match that of the server hosting the game. To solve this problem you need a patch. How I did this was I used the v1 to v16 patch then I used the v17 patch (Because the v18 patch gave me errors and the v17 patch works fine.).
All credits go to [DiGiTAL ZONE] they also have many other fine releases, including Counter-Strike 1.6 (non-steam), Half-life 1, 2, episode 1 (working on episode 2), and many more.
(I'm not advertising, just trying to help.)
(Sometimes it will give you an error saying: "Steam validation rejected," for this I simply re-install the v17 patch, and it works flawlessly.)
i downloaded a older CS:S but it was an older version it wont update without steam =/ soz.. hopping this will work ...

Post your hardware specs, and if all else fails, un-install and re-install and just play with bots.
I guess.
