im having some serious issues with this, or my cracked hl2.exe or something.

i get a "cant connect to steam" issue about 2 mins after i am in the game, and then if i click ok, the game closes.

if i dont click ok, it plays for about 5 mins tops, and then gives me some memory dump errors and the game crashes.

but NOW, since trying this hijack stuff and all this, all my folders on ALL my drives are read-only and wont change back..

so, im a little upset, and i dont know what could have caused this. formatting isnt exactly what i wanted to do before i played this game.
