[fizzy123]

hi i am trying to install half life 2 on my computer but it wont install. it will spend bout 20-30 mins copying sum files and then it will come across this message:

'error 1334. the file 'hl2.ico1' cannot be installed becasue the file cannot be be found in the cabinet file 'hl24.cab'. this could indicate a network error, an error reading the cd-rom, or a problem with this package.'
can you please tell me what this means and how i can fix and make it install. i have installed it before on my other computer and it worked fine.

laptop specs are
1.8ghz +3000 AMD sempron
378mb ram
128mb ati radeon xpress 200m

how are you trying to install it? retail DVD? steam distribution?

Even if installed successfully you won't be able to play hl2 with that system.

Why? Sure it's not a powerhouse or anything, but it's got DirectX 9 graphics and it exceeds all of the minimum specs.

Anyway, if as you've said, you've already installed it before: login to your Steam account. You can then download the entire game via Steam's servers. I just hope you're not on Dialup

Its a 1.8GHz laptop with 378MB system RAM and 128MB VRAM lots of heat not up to recommended Game Spec. and yes its a laptop. Could get maybe 10-20 mnts game play before it starts to lag down and overheat.

Games weren't designed for laptops and in case you decide to play them on laptops better exceed recommended requirements.

Good Luck.
