ERROR: hl2.exe has stopped working
wb0d
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

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!

AIM installed on my system. Something to do with STEAM. had to
reinstall steam to get everything working good.
Adrole
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?

sorry i left so many gaps in my description. ok ill start over
my specs are :
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?

You reinstalled Steam. That did not fix the problem, so it probably is
NOT Steam, there's something else wrong with your system.

Click Start Orb, and type "System Restore"
You should get an icon in your programs list that says "System Restore"
This program is built into Windows XP and Vista, it can "Rewind" your
computer to an earlier point in TIME. Basically, say you install a
program and your computer starts having problems, you can use system
restore to UNDO whatever damage was caused to your system.
It does not effect your personal data, only programs.

When you bring up System Restore, you have the option of using a
suggested point in time to rewind too, if you choose No, you can choose
from a calendar of dates where your system files were "remembered". Try
to figure out when you started having problems. choose a date close too
that point in time and try selecting it. Your system reboots, then you
can try the game again.

Go to http://support.dell.com
Click Drivers and Downloads
Find the model number of your system from this list, the model you
mentioned (Inspiron 4305) does not exist, so I'm guessing you typed it
incorrectly?
Once you find the model of your computer, you can find the drivers for
Chipset, Video, and Audio for your system. Download and install per the
instructions.

Dell tests drivers before they post them, if you want newer drivers you
have to go to the makers of each piece of hardware in your computer,
Video cards are usually made by nVidia (http://www.nvidia.com), or ATi
(http://ati.amd.com)
If you go to their sites, find your video card you can get a newer
version of their drivers which might fix your problems. You can probably
skip this suggestion, for now.

You're trying to do something difficult over text based messasge board,
it's not going to be easy, if you have any friends in your area that
work in IT, or Geek Squad or do a LOT of video game playing on PC, you
should call them for help.
Worse case scenario, Dells come packaged with "Restore" discs, that wipe
your HD and reinstall your OS like it was when you first bought the
computer. If you do that, update Windows using Windows Update, then re-
install your games, it will probably fix the problem.
Good luck,

It should not, I believe your friends list is stored online.
You can go to http://www.steamcommunities.com and login to your steam
accoun there, you should see all your friends listed there.
Try it from a different system if you're really worried, but as I recall
the Friends list is stored online, not on your computer.

Guess not everyone realizes this is MS Usenet, lots of Interweb Sitez
copy the group onto web forums.
Actually his suggestion to open a hole in your network security wasn't
that great of a suggestion. It may fix the problem, but could cause
others. Would be better to ask Valve support for assistance, just to
double-check and see if that's the only solution.
Besides, he types you as "u" and your as "ur" (which is hallarious,
because "ur" isn't your, it's actually an abbreviation of "you're", so
he's saying "you are wish...." in a literal sense of the word), do you
really want to take any advice from him without doing a bit of your own
research first?
(Likewise, I'd hope no one here takes any of my advice blindly without
double-checking.)

And nobody was interrogating you - perhaps you don't know what that actually

The "ur" comment was all in a paragraph starting "Besides". Andy's main
point, and mine, was in his previous paragraph commenting on your advice to
"take the risk" by reducing system security and potentially causing other
problems just to get a game to work, and he recommended the OP seek other
solutions from Valve support.

Wow, much more eloquent than anything I could of ever come up with.
I usually trim out text from replies, in a Usenet Newsgroup you are
advised to trim your quote, assuming you are actually responding to the
correct thread or post in the thread.
Problem is a lot of "Vista Forums" copy groups into forums and everyone
thinks they are local forums and not GLOBAL beyond the borders of that
forum.
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
Great article on quoting in Usenet posts. I think there should be some
requirement in forums to state that the posts that go into this group go
beyond their boundries.
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Usenet/Etiquette/
I got the above link from this link, talks about Netiquette and why
posting at the END of a reply is better than posting your response at the
top. (Thank you for that, Microsoft. Idiots.)
The guy was a douche anyways. (seeing if he's still around, hehe)
Back on topic, and for the record, my 3 Vista Machines run Half-Life
games without crashing, no workarounds necessary. Drivers, BIOS Updates,
and TLC are better suggestions than "Make a huge hole in your network
security, and it'll never crash."

i just figured out how to fix this problem. all you have to do is go
into your C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\username and cut and paste
any game that runs off of hl2.exe and move it into C:\Program
Files\Steam\steamapps\common and then try to run the game , you will get
a black screen but just wait it out and the game will end up loading and
recreate the files into your steamapps folder and from there on your
game will work perfect dont know why it works but it does have fun

In the past I have had issues with Half Life 2 games. Not sure it was
totally Vista's fault. For instance games like TF2 would just randomly
freeze the entire system. Could only reset to get out of it.
It seems like some Source games just have issues. Best suggestion I can
give is to go to the forums at Steampowered.com and post your question
there. Hopefully someone can give you some suggestions.
Might also see if their tech support can help. They may already have the
solution buried somewhere on their site, might just try looking around.

within steam and played with compatibility? Of course you are running it as
an administrator? When does the error pop up? During loading, after loading,
at the menu, etc.

I unchecked the GraphX GPU Accelration box in the video control panel
and the problem went away. (NVidia 8800GTX X2 SLI)

No original messge bit of message, guessing this is a responce to a very
old thread, and coming from Vistaheads.com.
Yeah, start a new thread, and try to explain the problem and include your
system info in the response.

I was also getting this error message i try to follow this steps:-
- Go to the command prompt (hit run and type in cmd.exe)
and type this in:
- *net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service*
- Then you can type this in:
- *net localgroup Administrators*
and Check if *LOCAL NT AUTHORITY/SERVICE* is listed or not, if it is
there then it will worked and finally reboot your PC.

I'm using Vista 64 myself, and I got the same HL2.exe stopped working a
few times. I might also add that I just downloaded Portal today. HL2
is the Half Life 2 engine for portal, and it's in your portal folder. I
just created an exception for it and now it works fine.
