Hey all, I recently bought the orange box, installed it and on the first day played half life 2 for about 5 hours... The problem happened when I tried to start it again the next day, I went through steam, launched it, and it started off with the blurry screen saying loading, and as soon as the "64-bit" message popped up in the top left it just shuts down to windows.

I have vista 64bit, and I've been trying to find a way to fix this over two days, and the only thing I've found is the "-32bit" and to use steam beta. Problem is when I use 32-bit I can't access my save files, and steam beta didn't seem to change anything...

I've also reinstalled my graphics drivers.

Any help would be great, or if theres a way to use 64bit save files with the 32bit version that would be good as well.

Specs if needed:

HD4870
Q6600
4GB Ram
600GB HDD
P5K-SE Motherboard
Vista 64-bit
