By now you all have heard many n00bs of hl2 complain about problems, but I have a problem and I’m not a n00b so please help, lol. I have this problem where steam starts-fine good okay- click hl2 icon, or CS:source icon it says preparing the play...yadda yadda. bam, nothing happens. Ctrl+Alt+del shows its in my processes, but using no CPU power. So far I have uninstalled reinstalled four times, Downloaded hl2 directly from steam once, uninstalled my windowblinds, uninstalled norton(sometimes corrupts installations), updated my drivers with beta drivers from this link(listed on steampowered.com) http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_winxp_2k_78.05.html, updated with normal drivers, deleted my ClientRegistry.blob, Verified all my files, Contacted tech support(no luck, lol), started the game with -dxlevel 81, even tried -window – console, and now I finally come to the population of valve enthusiast for help! Pleassseee help me, I’ve spent far too much time trying to fix this minor problem to not actually fix it.:dozey:
