How do I run it in software mode? The only way I can seem to run it is to launch it from Steam...

And no, I didn't convert any file formats, I just installed it and that's it.

you set it up inside in options menu i believe... but problem is, as i understand, you can't even get to the menu.


either way you have some strange problem there with a game that used to work on very slow & old computers. i advise you to search for technical help in either Valve or one of the mod's forums. post your log file and any information you might have gotten. i am sure they could help you.

only think i remember is that STEAM was causing a lot of problmes when it came out. before it was so called WON. and i still have the old version(s) of game (WON) and they really work on old computer with no problem. but STEAM, i dont' know much about it. only that they basically (ab)used the Half-life 1 to test it, so they could later use it in Half-life 2. since they were just testing it there were many flaws. Well like i said search for official help. Since they are selling the game they MUST provide it to you and also MUST solve the problem you encountered. and i am sure they will.

No you don't get it.
Did you type your CD key into your Steam account, and THEN install it, or did you install Half-Life, put your Steam CD key, and then let Steam update your HL files? If you did that, it's most likely that something screwed up, it did it with me.
