Alright, you only need one post, so I deleted your other one. Thanks.
Okay, down to business. I’d update my video card drivers first if I were you. Secondly, check to see if it does this when you play another game.
sometimes if u have extra RAM, programs start to take up lot of time to startup/load…try playing using 512mb RAM…also defragment your hard disk, use a defragmenting utility like Nortons Speed Disk…it may also skip if u have a lot of background applications in the taskbar..eg NortonAnti Virus…disable these before playing games…it may also skip if your motherboard supports AGP2X/4X…
n one more thing try playing the game using 16bit color n either 640x480 OR 800x600 resolution…lower the texture details n this may help to improve performance..
hl2 has good graphics but its not THAT demanding, im surprised ur gettin this, i doubt it, but try lowering water resolution (if its there) or AA or AF by a notch or two and check if it stops.
