I just got a new computer with vista home premium on it. I installed steam,
updated my graphics card drivers, and installed cs:s and it worked great for
a few days. But now, whenever I try to launch cs:s, it just takes me to the
menu screen and then crashes, and I get a message that says "hl2.exe has
stopped working". I reinstalled steam and cs a few times. Then I heard this
was an issue with dep, and I was told that I needed to go to the command
prompt, run as administrator, and type in a command that disabled dep, but
I'm still getting the problem. I seriously don't know what to do. Can anyone
help? |

Steam and HL2 is are Vista compliant or at least Steam supports vista. I'm
not sure where the DEP issue comes in. I didn't have to do anything with DEP
to get Steam installed and HL2 (and the add-ons) to work.
I'd be more out to look at any other updates or software add that's you've
done to the system. Any tweaks to the firewall, Maybe Windows Defender. Any
anti-Virus software. I'm guessing something else changed.
One thing you could try, is to create another user account, log-in and try
to play with that account. Over in the FEAR forums there was a guy who could
patch the game and when he tried that it worked. If it doesn't work, then
you might have a registry corruption issues or something else going on in
your profile that hindering HL2

I've never overclocked this :/ it does this for HL2, CS:S, and all of
the rest of my steam games.... this also happens to A LOT of games with
any form of a physics engine, if it has anything with physics, (besides
ragdolls) it says "blah blah blah.exe has stopped working" usually
hl2.exe.

I think it has to do with AIM 6's security update. I hadn't gotten on
AIM in a very long time and today i got on and installed the update and
now i get the HL2 error on all my games. Has anyone figured out how to
fix this? My virus scanner doesn't detect any coded viruses inthe files,
so what else could it be? HELP!

I had the same problem when I got a new computer with Vista Businiss x64
opening Portal or TF:2 after a few seconds it would either just close or
crash.
It did not start like that though for about 2 days it worked fine, then
it would sometimes crash after playing for a few minutes now it crashes
before it opens.
I actually just set it as an exception in the DEP for steam which might
have helped, still need to test it though.
But here is how you can try the same.
Control Panel > System And Maintenance > System > Advanced System
Settings > On the Advanced tab go to setting under Performance then
Data Execution Prevention.
You can either try setting it to "Turn on DEP for essential windows
programs and services only"
Or try turning DEP on for all programs and add Steam as an exception.
I haven't tested if it's fully worked yet, but Portal does open now.

Need system specs, make/model. Is this a Vista Upgrade? Did you buy the
system with Vista on it? At any time did Steam work normally? Did you
install any other applications recently? Did you try deleting all the files
in your steam folder (except for the big steamapps folder) and try re-
installing the Steam client from http://www.steampowered.com?
No reason you'd need to remove Google or AVG. No idea why you'd have too.
Also you didn't quote the original problem, and i'm on Usenet, so let us
know what the original issue was.

Windows vista home basic
im using a dell inspiron 4305
with an intel(R) core(TM)2 CPU 4400 @ 2.00 GHz 2.00 GHz
2046 MB of RAM
32- bit operating system
^^ those are my specs
my problem is that whenever i start up any game that i have on steam it
either crashed my whole computer and i have to reboot, or the game
crashes and an error message saying "hl2.exe has stopped working".
yes my steam games used to work perfectly fine.
and i uninstalled my google toolbars and avg 7.5 because on the steam
site it says that those things could cause it to crash...
yes i bought the system with vista on it.
i uninstalled all of my games and reinstalled them and they still didnt
work so i uninstalled steam all together and reinstalled steam and they
still dont work.

Sounds like you have a firm grasp on troubleshooting games, I guess I'll
point out the semi-obivous, if reinstalling steam doesn't help then
there's something else on your system, something you changed or
something that has changed that's causing the problem.
I would recommend running System Restore and rewinding your system files
to a date before all these problems started occuring.
You said you have an Inspiron 4305, but support.dell.com doesn't list
that model as a notebook or a desktop Inspiron model. I would suggest
going to Dell support online, find your system model in the Drivers and
Downloads are and make sure you get their latest drivers.
Note that these drivers aren't they newest, they are just the ones that
Dell supports. If you know your video card make/model, and your
motherboard chipset make/model you may consider getting video/chipset
drivers from the manufacturer directly. If you're not sure how, double
check your system model number or post your video card/chipset info
here.
If you disabled System Restore (why?), or if SR doesn't go back far
enough in time then you may end up simply reinstalling Vista. Something
installed or changed on your system causing the crashes. When HL2.exe
stops working does it generate an error log?
