I've got nothing on this one @_@;;. You computer should work fine with it. Have you tried re-installing it? But re-download from a different mirror that you dl'ed the first time. You may have gotten a corrupted file. If you already tried that, I've not a clue. Unless your other mods crash as well, if they do, you might want to re-install Half-Life.

Xmas tree... heh interesting code name.
I don't know how to answer this one, but I shall try from the information you gave. Does the game crash when a server switches to a custom map? If it does then you do not have the wads (texture files) to play that custom map. Valve suggests that its users who experience issues do the following: 1) Run Scandisk 2) Run Defrag 3) Run Mcafee/Norton or other anti-virus program 4) If you have a program, check for spy/adware Windows Defender (Beta 2) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/s...re/default.mspx Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition http://www.lavasoft.de/ 5) Test your ram with a ram checker program Windows MemTest http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ And one more thing to add, does your system have adequate cooling? Removing the cover is a good way to test this. |

Nope, the EXP is saved server side. The server owner has a players.lvl file that has all the info. So, you didn't need to worry about that. Unless you had a server on your comp. But, try what RaptorRed suggested. I've got nothing else @_@;; -------------------- |
