    Ok I've gotten it to work and I've been playing for half an hour and no crash!
    I sent the render to D3D. It was a bit stubborn and I had to change that setting three times, which restarted it three times.
    Now it works! However, if I change color mode to 32-bit then it says that option is not availble, switching to software rendering. And 16 bit is ok, but its starting to get kind of annoying.
    I have the latest drivers installed.

    Try to launch the game in Administrator Mode.
    Right click it and go to compatibility mode and check run as administrator.
    Then try to change the settings again.

Hi, been playing Half Life 2, found out some weird graphic glitches, i have tried using steam, and not using steam, so I can conclude that it ain't a steam problem, anyway, the first problem occurred in "the red letter day", all models have that light blue shading on them even at close proximity, i...

So for some reason whenever I start Half Life 2 it just goes to a black screen and I see the round blue windows loading mouse icon. Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 work perfectly fine also, which is odd. I've tried SP2 compatibility, disabling windows composition, visual themes, run as...
