<div class="IPBDescription">Dr. Watson seems to be the culprit</div> - 1.33 GHz Athalon
- SoundBlaster
- NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
- 256 MB RAM
- W2K SP4
- 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 recently, OpenGL
- No EAX
- Half-Life client
I will start up Steam and join a server (R5 normally). Once i get oon to a team and move for a SECOND my game freezes. Task Manager tells me that the program is not responding. Dr. Watson has loaded up and is trying to create an error log. My only options are to wait for the error log to finish (yeah right!) or hit cancel, which I do (hit cancel). I can then kill the program. The same thing happens when I try to run Opposing Force SP or Half-Life SP. But it was working for awhile...I got part way through boot camp one morning (until I killed the weapon check in guy in an effort to keep my sniper rifle...heh). And I was able to get to level 2 on HL SP. But now when I try to go in and load my saved game it runs for a second and then freezes. HELP!

and deffinatlety check if you have latest video drivers.
the above 2 are usually whats at fault if its neither of those try updating your sound card drivers.

My chipset is VIA KT266/A.
I am hesitant to try to change my vidoe or sound card drivers because EVERYTHING else works and getting the sound card to work was insane! Plus, all of this (including Steam) was working just days ago. Coudl it be that Steam changed something on me? I'm also wondering if there is some config setting that I futzed with and screwed stuff up. I guess the only way I will find that out is if somebody reads this who had the same problem and *knew* what setting they had just changed.
