Recommended Posts

well i bought The Orange Box a few weeks ago and installed TF2 and Portal, every time i tried to open Portal it froze on the Loading screen, i had to ctrl+alt+del to get out of it, TF2 worked fine, but after the last update, i updated today, i open it and after a few mins on the Loading screen, it closes with that Send error report box

 

Help with this problem will be much appreciated

Try these solutions before anything else:

 

 

 

-Update your drivers and make sure your computer meets the minimum specs.

 

-Be logged onto an Admin account and install it there.

 

-Scan your computer and other basic stuff.

 

 

 

See if that fixes the problem first.

I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.

Shouldn't this be in Tech and Computers?

 

 

 

Page pool memory was a big problem for me when I first bought the games. Go to Start > Run and type "msconfig". If you uncheck anti virus and other unnecessary programs and components from the services and startup tabs, it may be some help.

 

 

 

Failing that, some system specs would be useful so the problem could be diagnosed further.

ive tried a few of those things and there not working too well for me

 

i player Battlefield 2142 yesterday and i tried to play today and i ended up staring at a black screen

 

 

 

when i played TF2 sometimes there was a message in the top corner of the screen in red saying OS Paged Pool Memory Low or something similar

 

 

 

edit: Battlefield 2142 works again, i dont know if it was one of the things i did or because i didnt wait long enough for it to load, i dont know but it going good again, i tried TF2 just before and i had to restart my comp again
