Orange Box Headache!

[SpankyML]

All the games work except Half Life 2...(Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Half Life 2 episodes 1 and 2 work GREAT), BUT I've uninstalled this damn thing TWICE and can't get it to work. When Half Life 2 tries to load I get a nv4_drive app falilure or something like that...I've updated all my drivers and I'm at a loss...HELP.

Thanks,
Spanky

Heya Spanky,

I haven't had any issues with HL2 on either my laptop or my desktop.

When you say you've updated all drivers, are we talking mainboard drivers as well, as in you're using an Nvidia based board and updated the Nforce chipset drivers ?

Tried using the Steam downloader to download/install/play the game? I know it's a lot easier to install it off the disk and less time consuming, but it eliminates the disk from the equation and narrows where to look.

After hours of cussing and yelling at the "Orange Box" it finally worked...Thanks for the inpute everyone, don't know why it finally worked but it did.

Thanks

Thats good to hear. The yelling and cussing always seems to work eventually.

Hitting things with hammers can also be very effective. Glad it's working now though!
