hey new on the forums.
i have the same problem as stated above by Alucardy.
I've downloaded and installed the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86).
I have a ATI Radeon x1270 graphics card and have been looking for the most recent driver, other than that i don't know what else i can do. I have a Vista OS, home basic.
Dell inspiron 1521 laptop, AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 1.7 ghz, 1 GB ram, 32 bit operating system.
I've downloaded all the new updates from Windows update, and have been looking on both the Valve technical support forums and these, but i still have not found a solution.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thx
