Not too sure why it's crashing, but it might be that you computer can't cope with both vista and HL2 at the same time.

How much RAM do you have???

Try turning off some visual effects and then playing it

Hope this helps
GooD Luck :D

Yea, but that doesn't take into account that vista can use up to a gig of RAM, in which case you would only have 300mb left to play the game with.
(not very likely though)

Try turning off visual effects like aero interface, and then try

Change your theme to vista basic, looks bad but you can change back once your done playing, if the game works

Maybe it's a problem with the installation???
Not too sure

What version of the game do you have, is it one from steam, did u purchase it as a hard copy, or get it from a torrent

My friend gave me a steamless one with CSS that he got from a torrent, and that works perfectly on vista

When you run the installation, does it install using a command prompt window, if so it's the same as mine.

Mine was crashing when I installed it to a different directory, but when I installed it to the default directory, mentioned in the readme and command prompt window before the installation started, and now it works fine
