Hi!

have u installed the mod in

\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life

if not thats the reason...

if yes u installed steam wrong...

u must create your account with cd key and install half-life via steam... steam will download all reguired files for hl... after that u can install your third party mods and download other mods like cs, dod etc.

greetings 23-down

Now go to http://www.steam.com and download it. Then you will have to create an account on steam and then click on hl1.
