Ok i'm kinda new to CS and i've been playing source for a few days but I have this problem with the map de_prodigy that I can't seem to fix.

For some reason all the wall, floor, roof etc textures in the map are purple and black checkers, and most of the objects come up as flashing red error signs. Every other map works perfect except for this, And I have tried changing resolutions, changing all of the graphics settings individually, changing my drivers from the omega ones to the official nVidia ones, and redownloading the map both from steam and another source. Nobody else i've talked to has this problem, and I couldn't find anything through google.
My specs are p4 2.8, 512mb ram and I have a geforce fx5200.
I know my video card is pretty shitty but it runs every other map fine and doesn't give me any problems with textures.

Heres some screenshots of what the map should look like..

I'm fresh out of ideas on what else to try short of getting a new graphics card which I will be soon anyway..but until then any help/advice is appreciated.

Sweet, I'l get that then.

Another question, I am using Half.Life.2.Collectors.Edition.DVD.READ.NFO-PROViSiON, I was going to reformat soon, so when I install it, exactly which updates do I need, and what order should I do them. I already have most of them but i'm not sure if any of them are redundant.

Yeh I noticed that when I ran the stress test, there was a purple glow that came through some of the textures, but when I overclocked my card a bit the textures looked normal, after only about a 7fps increase.
Anyway i'm hoping that after I reinstall I can just install the DVD, provisions 1st update, and then the crack fix for the first update?
