Half-life 2 Demo Problem.

[skykiller95]

Apparently, almost everybody have the same problem.
Its about the " InternalDriverError IDirect3DDevice9:: Present()" Error message.
It takes a while to load up HL-2. When I click on the "Start Game" Button, The games shut down and the error message comes out.
