This might be in the FAQ's, but the link is either wrong, or the FAQ's are down right now.

I have installed source forts first with the .zip option and then .exe.

When I try to run source forts, it opens fine, but then decides to close itself leaving a lone window saying: "Half Life 2 is required to run these mods".

I have got half life 2 deathmatch and lost coast, like my friends except theirs works.

I'm fairly computer literate and I can't see any reason why this is happening.

One thing I would mention, is that steam is not in C:\ but in E:\ instead, but then so is source forts and half life.

How did you acquire HL2DM? Was it the ATI offer?

Is HL2DM and Lost coast the only games you have on steam?

You need the Source SDK Base. That may not be part of the Half-Life game package that you own -- hence the question from Fuzion.

Questions about SourceForts? Try the wiki.

I got these through the portal / nvidia offer. I only have these and portal on steam ATM.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll try source SDK now...

how do you have hl2dm & lost coast but not hl2

I don't think the nvidia offer works with mods, the ATI one certainly doesn't

Nvidia offer is worrying, doesn't sound like it would include the SDK base.

Even if it doesn't buy a cheap source game.

I think I have a free HL2 to give away. Would this help him?

Most likely. Very generous, let him get back though. He may have the SDK BASE.
