All right, thanks anyways. And I may have found out how to get Half Life 2 working, but you need Counter-Strike: Source. All I did was create a shortcut of the hl2.exe in my CS:S folder, and set eh command line perimeters as "-steam -game hl2 -console" and I think it tried to load Half Life 2. However, I don't have the nessisary files. So I was thinking that if you downloaded the pre-load and have all the other files, you'd be able to run Half Life 2. That's why I want to know. Edit: I am so close to getting it working, I can taste it! Do what I did and make that shortcut, and if you get any errors, copy the files from the cstrike folder to the hl2 folder. I managed to get the menu screen to work like HL2 (Where it says New Game, Load Game and such), but when I go to new game, there isn't anything there. I'm so close!
