Another game on the To Buy List....

No that cant happen. To hack in to a computer u have to know the IP address of the computer. without that u cannot hack in to it. and Xfire,MSN,Yahoo,Aim,AOL dont give out ppls IP address. As Sam.Gen said there have to misleading links which can allow adware/spyware to get in to ur computer and from there on they send the information back to the creator abt the comp..

its a hoax...there is no way that a username can give u a virus...and the best thing to do is not to accept ppl u dont know...

hope u get well soon..

hey Tfen!! i remember u in FA!! nice to hear from ya.. FA for EVER!!!!!!!!!!

nice stuff..now thats what i call art...

wow me likes...me wants..

Congrats!!!

in the website u mentioned u have to select a file to scan...which file do i select??

Yes i have defraged my HDD No will checkdisc now.. I have 13.6GB space left Currently i have 31 processes running yes i am using antivirus AVG...

i did PM Kol Klink but he told me that he doesnt know anything abt that sort of problem....

I uninstalled every thing..every HL game and mods..uninstalled steam and deleted the folders...and cleaned the registry and when installed HL2 u have to install steam first before installing HL2...i only have one HDD no partitions... when installing the game it calculates how much disk space is reqd...so when i click on the HL2 checkbox it says 13KB and when i click on CS:S its says 1268MB....now what does this mean??? i dont think that HL2 gets installed because its only asking for 13KB of space....no idea....

mac i tried this....but it didnt work....

Yeah but when i try to activate the game it says that u need to have the game installed before activating it...the same msg as the screenshot

Ok....so ur saying that if i use the installer ur using i can install and play those games without installing them from the CD? ok...thats cool....where can i get it?

Ok...thanks mac i'll try that too and see if it works... Hmmm yeah im in Mumbai,India..how much will the ticket be from ur place to here? lets see if i have that much to buy u a ticket....

Thats what i got..Its an orignal HL2 Game of the year pack..on the box itself it says that this pack includes 5 CDs and with HL2 there is CS:S,HL:S,HL2:deathmatch.....thats all what it says on the box..other than that i have no idea... Col Hogan i'll try that and tell u the result......

i did this....but still the same thing again....i got 5 CDs with this pack.....only 2 are used for installation of the game....no idea abt the other 3.....when installing the game it calculates how much disk space is reqd...so when i click on the HL2 checkbox it says 8KB and when i click on CS:S its says 1268MB....now what does this mean???

ok but then i will have to install all my other games again as well....hmm ill try to do this...keep a back up of the steam folder....thn delete the orignal one...and install it...see if it works........

one thing that i have noticed is that in the steam dir there is no folder from HL2...even though the installation dir is C:\Program Files\Steam....

Hey guys!! my g/f bought me HL2. So now i installed it..after installing it steam automatically starts up...then the product activation box pops up...in which i enter the CD key..and after that a box pops up saying that Installation of Half Life 2 Game Of the year Edition is required before continueing and another message comes with it...now what do i do?? i installed the game over and over gain and its not working...what do i do???
