My nghl just stoped working one day. No error or anything just doesn’t start. I’ve tried reinstalling it a bunch of times. When I uninstalled it I used a program called revo uninstaller that is supposed to remove every trase of the program on the program so i don’t know why my computer don’t like the game any more. Does anyone have any idea of what it might be?

If you’re running Windows 7+, try disabling DEP (Data Execution Prevention) for hl.exe.
