The ONLY Half-Life 2 Thread. Do Not Create New Threads

As per my last post,

XP is patched to SP2,
W2k is patched to SP4

I bought the game Monday, DLd nocd from GCW ( marked up as 1.0 ) this would not work with W2K kept getting the ' Games currently not available ' for HL2 and for CS ' Server unavailable '

Tuesday I DLd 1.4 from here via torrent, this worked straight off with w2k,

Then I installed on my XP machine ( Win2k PC dual boots with SuSE did want to reboot just to play a game) anyway the same 1.4 nocd would not work so tried the ver 1.0 this worked.

I did notice this in my trail if Steam was running ( autoloads on reboot ) on the XP machine so it could be the same for w2k you got the error ' CreateProcessA error ' exit from steam and retried and it would load.
