Maybe he wants to use NGHL. Try running as an admin or re-installing it in a folder on your desktop, sometimes HL configurations from older installations can interfere with one another and cause crashes, specifically in NGHL I find. ---

Or disabling DEP on hl.exe, causes exactly this when enabled on some machines. ---
