Below is an email I just sent Vivendi Games UK, please read and see if you can help me before them???
[Dear All.
I purchased Half Life 2 on its release date (Nov. 16th). I have built a new computer to run this software,
and installed, played and enjoyed it very much.
Unfortunately at the weekend I received a virus, which made my computer refuse to boot. I have fixed this with a
completely fresh install of windows. Virus software shows no trace of a virus. The computer is set up, and installed with all the
same software and drivers as before, but when I go to install HL2, I now get Error 1335 - HL2.cab is corrupt, or after a bit of fiddling
with memory settings in msconfig, Error 1334 - HL23.cab is corrupt.
As you can guess, I am at my wits end, as the system is practically brand new, freshly installed, and has proved itself to work before.
My specs are as follows:
PC make and model - AMD 64 3500+
Graphics and Sound Card make and model - Sapphire X800XT, Creative Labs Audigy
Graphics and Sound Card driver version - Catalyst 4.12 beta
Operating System - Windows XP SP2, all latest patches.
Hard Drive(s) - 2 x WD Raptor 36.7gb in RAID 0
DVD drive - Sony DVD RW DW-D22A
Direct X Version - 9.0c
System Ram - 1024mb
As I can read the DVD, surely it cannot be the disc? The drive has worked before, and seems to be fine now, all other parts of my PC seem ok, and I am lost!!
PLEASE HELP !!!
yours, Ian.]
Any ideas at all??? AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
P.S. I have tried updating steam, but that makes no difference, and I have tried uninstalling steam to try again from scratch, but all to no avail.
