Source Engine Games Have "Stopped Responding"
Okay, here's the deal: I just recently installed the W7 32bit beta to find that all games that run on the source engine stop responding as soon as they're launched. This happens with source games only whether they are ran through steam or not. All of the games ran fine on vista.
I have a Dell computer with and xfx 8600gt and 3gigs of RAM
Here's What I've tried:
-Runnig the game in compatability mode and/or as admin
-Rolling back on previous Nvidia driver
-Updating drivers
-Defragging game files
Games that have stopped responding:
-CS:Source
-DOD:Source
-TF2
-Left 4 Dead
-Portal
-Dark Messiah
NOTE: Some of these games were installed after W7 and not all of them are hl2.exe.
Half Life 2 was the only one that would work.
I think the problem might be either coming from my video card or directx. When I run dxdiag the dx version shows up at 11, which is strange. Also, I am using the W7 nvidia drivers 1.1. I was also wondering if it is possible to use vista 32 bit drivers to run my card.
Any suggestions?
