I have posted this problem on geekstogo.com, and emailed valve, and neither have helped me much, so i was wondering if someone on this site would. my problem is that i love half life 2, and after steam did its latest update(about a week or so ago) i wasnt able to play it and the error message is in the attachment. i also noticed that half life 2 worked before the latest steam update, and episodes one and two dont work either.
If anybody could help it would be great! I love half life 2 and would really like to go back to playing it.
Thanks to anybody who can help
My pc specs are as follows:
Windows xp pro
Nvidia geforce 7600gs 512mb
AMD athlon 64 4000+
2gb of RAM

Have you dried veryfing game files/deleting C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\*your username*\half-life 2
 
Yes i have tried veryfing the game files many times, and i deleted my my username in the half life 2 folder, and it did the same thing.
what can i do?
 
Try adding -nocrashdialog to launch options
 
You can rise your pagefile memory :)
Right-click on "My computer" choose properties
Than go to Advanced tab. Take performance(1st button)
Go to Advanced tab again You will see virtual memory part. Click change
set size to custom from 512 to 738. Click set. Restart your pc.
 
Copy your UserName folder: (C:/Program Files/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/Your username goes here)

And paste it in program files, And reinstall steam, and paste your username folder back in. Don't forget to do it with SourceMods!

EDIT: In fact, Copy the steamapps folder.
 
I GOT HALF LIFE 2 TO WORK!!! The only remaining problem is that i have to start all over because i forgot to paste my profile in program files. it was also interesting because during the setup it asked for the second cd, which it didnt do the first time i installed the orange box. Is there any way you have the saved game files? I was at the part right after chapter 5.
