    Hi there, and thanks for reading this.

    I just picked up a copy of HL2 Episode One. And I really wan't to play it - I'm a huge HL fan...

    Anyways, I'm on a Pavilion ZD8000 (Boy how I love it)

    128MB ATI X600
    3.0GHZ P4 With Hyper Threading
    2GB Ram

    I should have no problem playing this game. I've played HL2 on this PC and have had no issues with it whatsoever. But for some reason, Episode one keeps locking up - And I havn't played the game for 5 minutes! I can't even close it with task manager! The only way I can restore my comp is by holding the power switch...

    Oh yea, and as a side note, I'm Playing it on default settings, with resolution on 1440x900 (The size of my screen)

    HELP!
