Voting Question: Portal HL2.exe Has Stopped Working. Need help!?
A couple months ago I downloaded Portal from Steam when they had the free discount. It worked fine when i played it before. But then all of a sudden I go to play it without playing it for a couple weeks and whenever i shoot out a portal, it freezes, then says: HL2.exe has stopped working. I tried typing in some launch options, uninstalling and reinstalling the game AND steam, but nothing seems to work. I've looked up videos on YouTube and read some information on some forums but nothing has helped. I also tried typing in the net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service into my command prompt. It obviously didn't work. I have Vista Home Premium and my steam system info is:
