hl2.exe has stopped working - Steam problem

[wilno]

Hi

Installed steam, bought The Orange Box, intalled everything and only HL2 and Lost Coast work. Everything else and I get a preparing to launch msg then 5 seconds later Vista tells me hl2.exe has stopped........

Tried reinstalling, compatability mode, older drivers, Dep is turnned off.

Anyone else have this problem?

Was passing a game retailer today and the guy was convinced you can't play this until the 19th.

Am I being thick or something - all you lot seem to have no problems?

Can't belive i have wasted a whole day on this! I can't get to the game menus no matter what I try. Thanks for the imput though.
