Half Life 2 Error's: 1334 !FIX!

[ultrasonic2010]

A lot of retail owners of Half Life 2 are expierencing several errors. People think its their CPU, or windows XP configuration (eg SP2). If you contact Valve or goto their web site there are lot's of new posts for these errors.

One good reason to have steam installed is that it automatically updates your software to avoid these problems. One instance was when I got an installation error 1334. The cab was currupt blah blah blah...
--------------------
To fix the 1334 error specifically - install steam (make an account, or log into your exhisting one). Run the installation, now do a FULL install of both HL2 AND CS (Install everything). I saw a thread to de-select adding a desktop icon and that would fix the 1334 but this was not true. Repete the installation. IF IT FAILES AGAIN!!: Close steram if open and restart it! Then repete the installation (just do a full install again). I found this to resolve COMPLETELY my 1334 error. YAY! I got to disk 5. I tried this and it works!

So what happened? Steam initiates an update (you dont see) running it that second time. This patches several files. va-la! Damn valve for not fixing this earlyer!
