    don't believe so, tried running in admin mode, which is about all i got from steams way of fixing it, this happened back when i first got my new computer but i just uninstalled and reinstalled steam and it worked if i remember, but i dont want to have to do that again.

    aka im open for suggestions hell even if ive done it before ill try it again ha.

    Re: hl2.exe has stopped working

    well i tried all of those, and ive still got the problem. i should probly point out that i just installed tf2, but have had hl2 since it came out. so i dont think i need to return tf2 to its original install state, having installed it like 3 days ago. im verifying the gcf cache right now, but i dont htink thats the problem.
