I'm trying to play Half-Life 2: Lost Coast and I can't. I only get to the pre-menu screen (the one that says loading and the backround is blured, just like Half-life 2). When I get to this screen, my computer restarts automaticaly and windows tells me to report the problem. It says there is a problem with the Nvidia driver, but I'm able to play Half-life 2 just fine (on high settings too).

My specs(if you need them):
Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2
Intel Pentium D CPU 2.8GHz 2.8GHz
2.0GB of RAM
DirectX 9.0 or better
GEForce 6200SE TurboCache

if you need any more info, let me know

Ah, give the newest one a DL and see if that makes a difference.

Lost Coast pushes machines and graphics to some heavy limits.

hey, thanks Wolfman. The driver upgrade let me play lost coast, but the average framerate on my computer was only around 30 fps.

yeah a 6200SE is a pretty low end graphics card so I wouldn't expect too much
