my specs exceed the mimimum:
(laptop)
2.0 ghz
768 RAM
64mb Nvidia geforce 4200 GO
30 gb

yet when i load the game it says loading in the bottom right and then it loads to a screen that i believe is the main menu. there are some people walking around in the background and you can hear people talking. once it gets to this screen it does nothing. is this the main menu? should there be links for me to click on?

CS:S runs fine on low settings for me and my laptop even plays Doom 3 perfectly. can i just not handle HL2?
 
It's an error with the decrypting/decompressing. Valve has posted that removing the models .gcf cache file and re-downloading it may solve the problem. They're looking for a real solution also.

yes thats one of the main menus but the menus change to difrent ones ...

this is what the menu looks like for me

ppl dont look if you have not seen the menu if you dont want to get spoiled
 
i bought the retail this morning at best buy and installed it fine. so i can't really redownload those files again. should i try and uninstall and install again?

EDIT: my screen looks like a city and there are people walking around and you hear people talking on a radio. there's also some flying robot shining a light down on the people. there's nothing that says "half life 2" or any sort of menu.
