    Whenever I launch a game, the opening graphic plays smoothly. However, the game promptly crashes afterwards with a "Failed to initialize component" error from hl2.exe, then something about memory not being able to be "read".

    I've tried most everything with game launch flags; -dxlevel 81 and 70, and so on. I have an ATI Radeon X1600 in a Macbook Pro.

    Any help?

    redct,

    we have just double checked, HalfLife 1 and 2 work fine here on ATI X1600.
    Would be nice if you submitted a problem report via Parallels Help menu when hl2.exe is showing error message, and posted report ID here.
