i just spent my day reformating and redownloading hl2 cuz steam ****ed up before. i got steam installed and downloaded hl2. i waited about 8hours for the download! when i tell steam to launch hl2 it says 'preparing to play half-life 2' then that goes away. the screen changes to 800x600 (because i havent had the chance to get into the game and change resolutions) then it doesnt do anything. the hdd light is not on, i have to hit ctrl, alt, delete and it says hl2 is not responding.
some one help plz
EDIT: Nevermind, it just started, but seemed to freeze while loading the menu. ill try again
