I've been getting HL2.exe has stopped responding messages when playing
orange box (portal, hl2:2, and tf2), but I just close the program and run it
again and it works.

Audio card shouldn't matter too much, most integrated audio cards work good
with Vista (It's creative labs sound blasters that are having driver
issues), but still you might check to see if there's a driver update
available online for your sound card, motherboard chipset and motherboard
BIOS, the last one (the bios) probably is not the problem, and be careful
when you upgrade the BIOS, if you mess up you'll kill your motherboard. (in
other words, don't do it unless you know what you're doing)

CS:S is pretty much Vista ready, you should not have to change your firewall
settings or add the program to any exceptions lists, might see if there's
anything posted on the valve forums, check their support site too.

Good luck,
A.
