	I have Steam installed on a computer that's running Windows Server 2003 as the OS. It's seems fine but if you go to launch TFC, the screen goes black as if it's going to start and then just closes the game so you're just left with the Steam game panel. Does anyone know what this might be and if there is a way you can install this on Windows Server 2003 and have it work?

	It has the latest DirectX and it's running on a Nvidia FX 5900XT by the way

	Now I'm getting this error when launched from the Steam console: The instruction at "0x01e5f5b9" referenced memory at "0x01e5f5b9". The memory could not be written. Does anyone know what this might be?

	In case anyone needs it, it was the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) on Windows Server 2003 that was stopping Steam and Half Life from running properly. If you configure DEP to allow this program it should work after that.
