O.P. Half-Life 2 Video Problem [fixed]
Just reciently, when I've tried to play Half-Life 2, the display gets all messed up. It used to work perfectly, but now when the menu is about to load, the screen goes all screwie and I have to restart my laptop.
My laptop specs are:

CPU: Intel Centrino 1.86GHz with 2MB L2 Cache
HDD: 100GB SATA
DVD: 8x Dual-Layer DVD+-RW
VID: ATI Mobile Radeon X700 with 256MB Dedicated RAM
RAM: 1024MB DDR2 400 RAM
DIS: 15.4" Widescreen XGA display
NIC: Intel 802.11G WiFi

My display drivers are up to date, and everything is fine. I can run Counter-Strike: Source, Day Of Defeat: Source, and Half-Life: Source all fine. Its only HL2.

At one point, the game did completely lock up, and its after that point that I get this. I've also tried reinstalling HL2 only. No change tho. I'm using Steam.

Any ideas?
