Okay this is really weird.

Whenever I set 4x MSAA in the SINGLE PLAYER game only, and I launch the game later, it just pops right back to the desktop, no error or anything.
If I stay in the game it works just fine.

2x MSAA works fine.
4x MSAA works fine in HL2 DM!
^ That is the really weird part.

I have reinstalled everything(drivers, hl2) about three times now. The only way to get single player to work again is to delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Source\hl2\Settings folder.
UGH!!!
This is bugging the crap out of me.

I even tried to copy every single setting exactly from the HL2DM area at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Source\hl2mp\Settings
with the settings it gives at 4x MSAA. Still just pops right back to desktop for single player.

Everything is stock.
E6600
EVGA 8800 GTS
May 17th drivers. Everything at default.

WTF!!! I know I can just force AA in the drivers, but still. WHY GOD, WHY. ;(
