Furah Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Today I downloaded Garry's Mod from Steam, yet every time I try to load it I get up to the loading screen (which is the funniest one I've seen) then it closes saying "hl2[Caution: Executable File] has stopped woking, and has this information...

I have Vista Home Basic, so the fist one has been fixed, and I am guessing the 2nd one is caused through Internet explorer which I never use so there should be no problem there, unless Steam runs through Internet Explorer, then it would have to be something through Steam that caused it (even though Steam works fine) Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement.

blackrainbow Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Here's some more info on .dll errors which may help Your Windows operating system usually displays .dll error messages if the .dll file is corrupt or it is missing from the main directory. Here are some of the possibilities that could generate .dll error messages: * You have uninstalled a program, but that program along with its files has removed a .dll file that is required by some other program. * You have installed a program that may have overwritten the .dll file with an older version or with a version that is not compatible with the program. * A bad installation has occurred that caused the .dll errors. * Another user or program maliciously or by mistake has deleted the .dll and associated file. * There is a hardware issue with the computer, such as bad hard drive, causing the data on the drive to become corrupt, causing the .dll errors. You could try 1)Updating Windows and your AV program then do a ful scan 2) disc clean up 3) disc defragment try running the download in compatability mode try checking the website for any updates that may be available try re-installing the software Edit: you could try running the hl2[Caution: Executable File] from the command prompt (that has worked for me in the past with games that wouldn't load correctly).
