• Half Life Launcher has stopped working (Win 7)
    3 replies, posted
Hey guys, sorry to bother you over such a petty matter like this. :c I have lent the original disc of Half Life to my friend. He installed it and ran it, but when he launches the game, it swaps to Win 7 Basic (as normal on Windows 7) and then the error appears- Half Life Launcher has stopped working (just in a windows box) I can't give him the steam key as I have already redeemed it. I have already told him to disable DEP for the shortcut, but he claims it has not stopped the crash. Any help?

I can't think of anything else that would cause this problem.
I've had a similar issue with the disc versions (WON) of Half-Life and Counter-Strike. It seemed to give me errors about RAM and also random crashes. [U]Have you tried using the Windows compatibility features?[/U] I set mine at Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and it works perfectly after that.
