I'm opening up the HL2 demo, and I get the copyrights rules screen, then it goes to the blurred city scene, and says loading in the bottom right corner...From here it goes nowhere - in fact about 2 min later it just freezes up and I can't move my mouse. Anybody know what the problem is? Solution? Is this a "can't read memory error" because thats what everyone seems to bet getting although it says nowhere on my screen that that is the problem..it just freezes while the game is loading...HELP PLZ!
 
My specs...

It's a Toshiba Laptop....
2.0 Ghz
512 Ram
40 gig HD
Nvidia Geforce420 GO 64 Mb (yeah... i know)

-I was able to run Doom3 with good settings pretty damn well, i dont' see why i shouldn't be able to run HL2 on at least low settings...
 
It took me about 5 minutes to properly load the demo the first time. It stuttered for me until I restarted my PC. The background is animated, which could be the reason for the long load times. The demo is rather glitchy I find. Maybe we didn't download the files properly? Try the bittorrent link and see if it patches things up.

No, it's just the Demo. As far as I knwo, I downloaded it perfectly, and I get the occasional glitch. Also, it seems as though you cannot click "apply" on the video settings page because it comes up with one of those "could not read" errors.

If I could turn down the settings, I reckon it would work perfectly.

BTW, I had no idea that there were so many fast zombies in Ravenholm! If was kind of cool how you onlt got a single clip of each of the three guns, though. Forced out some tactical thinking. If "SAWBLADE!!" is tactical thinking... ;)
