Hi,
I have purchased the orange box and half life 2, ep2 works fine. but when i play ep2 or portal it keeps crashing.
there has been an update, which didnt help at all. I have run a validation of the local files which didnt say there was a problem.
Also I read somewhere that steam conflicts with NOD32 and causes crashing. i completely removed nod32 and rebooted but it still crashed.
This is really frustrating as I cant do anything in the game. The longest i have played is 20 seconds without it crashing. i have tried turning the graphics to low,
i have even tried runing the shortcut in compatibility mode.
sometimes the game just closes and sometimes it comes up with the windows, this program has crashed message, with send and don't send buttons.
I have tried running portals and then loading a hl2 map which didn't load any portal gun and it still crashed.
anyone know what could be causing this? could it be that nod32 has not been completely removed?
My Specs:
Windows XP SP2 MCE
AMD 3400+
Club 3D nvidia 7900GT (tried latest and latest beta drivers)
1Gb RAM
