Did you try 'Run as Administrator'? Even if you are in the admin group,
you still have limits on what you can do outside of administrator.

Hello,
I have figured out why I'm having issues. I uninstalled Portal 2. I
turned off, completely, UAC. Rebooted and installed Portal 2. Left UAC
off and Portal 2 started up and showed me the menu without crashing. I
rebooted again, and Portal 2 started up again fine. However, Once I
turn UAC on again it borks it. Even if I turn UAC off - it will crash
just before the menu. So basically, I have to run Win7 with UAC off to
play Portal 2, if I turn UAC back on - it's over. Even if I turn it
back off. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
There's quite a few long threads about people that cannot get Portal 2
to load up. It crashes as soon as the cinematic would take you to the
menu for game options new game load game etc etc. Steam/ Valve is
useless so far - their support is a joke... anyone suffer from this -
know someone who did and/or know of a fix? Really would like to play
but its impossible with this bug. trying to get a refund too
