I posted this in the help and support under Gmod, but I only got 8 views within 3 hours. So I'm sorry, but I need to post it in here rather than that dead zone.
So I haven't used my desktop for about 3 years now. I got XP back up and running on the thing the other day. I decided I'd strictly keep it as my gaming computer for home and college. I installed Steam yesterday, along with Gmod. Every time I'd try to launch the game from my Library, there's no response. Then I tried running it from the Hl2.exe in the Garrysmod folder, and all I got from that is "missing gameinfo.txt". So I did a little research, and I copy and pasted the gameinfo.txt from one spot of the garrysmod folder, to the Hl2 portion. I tried to run the .exe again, and I get through the Valve startup video, then the "Powered by Source" video, and then BOOM; crash. Crashes every time with no error message ever. And yes, I've reinstalled Steam. Unfortunately, no success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys (or girls).
Might be insufficient RAM. Post your specs.
EDIT: Seems like a dumb question, but did you install HL2 yet? You never said you did.
Actually, no. I know the requirements for Gmod do include you to have some sort of source game, but I thought just having it was enough. Didn't actually think I had to install it (stupid, I guess). Here are my specs:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002
Service Pack 3
AMD Anthlon 64 Processor
3200+
2.01 GHz, 1.00GB of RAM

What?
Verify the Cache by right clicking Garrysmod and going to properties.
Or try reinstalling.
