Skyboxes generally suck. I'm yet to see a game that's included them and it hasn't looked sucky (Except maybe Unreal/Unreal Tournament).
I beleive trackerUI.dll isn't of importance. It's always happened to me, and alot of other people, and it doesn't affect anything. Did you go into Map Properties to set the sky? Did you put the sky texture in places?

Any chance of a screenshot?
Try sending your map to someone and see if it works on their PC. Don't ask me as I don't have HL or anything atm.

Do you actually have sky texures around your map? or is there nothing there?

Glad you got it to work.

As for the replies:
Where in the original question is SKYbox mentioned?? Or even a hint that it might have been the problem?

Sorry to go slightly off topic here guys but:

muppet, I get that underwater thing happening as well, was it a video card driver, or how did you sort it out? The funny thing is it doesn't happen when I play Op4 or Blue Shift.

I've been meaning to write in about this for a while and even have a screenie of the screwiness, (it's at home though)

Is it a func_water or is it just the texutre? If it is NOT a func_water then that's what's causing the problem. The texture doesn't work as water, you can just go through it.

While playing the original game, if I go underwater then many of the faces are blue, rather than textured and are in the shape of triangles. This only happens when I play Half-Life, Oppossing Forces and Blue Shift are not effected. I'll try and post the screenie this weekend as it's rather hard to describe.
