Hope this helps, feel free to ask for my help in the forum!
Note that this could make games other then Portal run pretty crap and disable all network connections. Feel free to add to this list.
I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS: I simply put lots of code I found together and some of my own code.
This will give you a smother experience with an unlimited fps rate so you can now change things in the in game menu.
