Just just got the new Portal Demo through Steam. When I launch the game it starts for a few seconds then it crashes. Windows tells me that hl2.exe has a conflict, stopped working and has to close. It goes on to say that Windows will notify me if there is a solution. But unfortunatly there is none.

Here`s what I tried----------Here are My Specs:
Updated Video drivers--------Vista Home Premium 64 Bit
Disabled UAC---------------- XFX 8800GTS 320x2 in SLI Mode
Updated Direct X-------------XFX 680i Motherboard
Disabled Virus Program--------4x1 Gigs of Crucial Dual Sided Memory
Disabled Firewall--------------PC2(6400) 800MGHZ
Updated Bios-----------------Samsung 500 Gig HDDx2

There are alot of people having trouble with this Portal game. Some say to disable Services. Some say certain virus programs have to be completely uninstalled. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it while having similar specs as me? I would appreciate the help.

It's a shame you can't try out the demo. This game is easily one of my favorite games.
