Do you have a graphics card? If so, update the drivers for it. If you're using integrate graphics or something then you're not in a good position.

You forgot one thing is... A video card. I meant ATI or Nvidia.

And welcome to HalfLife2.net! =3

Maybe validate the game files? It does sound like a video card issue. Do tell.

Yeah that's not gonna work. You're going to need some kind of video card other than that. At this point you could probably spend $50and get one that could effectively run HL2 decently.

Just make sure you have the proper slot for it to in to. I don't know if I'd be going out on a limb saying you might need to get an AGP or standard PCI card, but if you don't have a PCI express slot on your motherboard then that'll be the situation.

It will be harder to find a card these days for that. I don't know if you're ona laptop or anything either, in which case it will be even harder.

Ouch.

You have to do what did StarBob say.
