I had that happen once -- I cleared it up by uninstalling/reinstalling the game. I think the game cache got corrupted or something like that.

I suspect you're not talking about "rebooting", which is a harmless activity that you should do at least once a week anyways just to keep things running smoothly.

Are you instead referring to "reinstalling windows" or "reformatting your harddrive"? In both instances it is recommended you backup all the information that you want to retain afterwards, in the case of reformatting drives, this is mandatory (if you want to hold on to the information, that is).

I had this problem to, if you have an nvidia 8 series card. Then i might know the solution. For me only the 158.27 driver works from guru3d. With al the other drivers i can't boot up any source game :S

If you have steam you can "verify" the game cache and that from my experience fixes any problems.

It was probably your anti virus firewall. That happens to me everytime I reformat my computer and reinstall Counter Strike Source. Next time reconfigure your firewall to "allow all" or "permit all" for steam and half life 2.

Recently an update to either steam or Norton anti-virus caused Norton to think that steam games were trojan viruses or some such. I contacted Valve with this problem and they had notified the Norton people and said it would be fixed in a few days. Until then I was supposed to disable the anti-virus software when I wanted to play. A few days later I updated my anti-virus software and everything works properly again.
