hi, just got the "physical" distribution of the Orange Box.
went home, installed, and neither of the games run.
right after I log on to Steam, I doubled clicked one of the 5 games... but none of them run. It will immediately return a Windows Error Message, saying HL2.exe encounter errors. The same old "Report to MS" or "Don't Send" error message box.
anyway, this is the first thing I installed on my fresh rig... with Win XP, 8600GT, Athlon X2, nforce 570 SLi, 2 gig ram. All chipset, audio, video drivers updated and installed.
any idea?
EDIT:
solved
turned out, my rig was certainly too fresh ... I forgot to install DirectX 9.0c
