HL1 and mods for it don't work for me. It happened after I changed 'run in a window' to stop. It said the thing will now run in software mode. Now, whenever I try to launch a HL1 program, it gets stuck at a blackscreen and i have to ctrl+alt+delete. Help?

1. Open Steam
2. Go to the My Games tab
3. Right-click the game which needs to be reconfigured
4. Select Properties from the menu
5. Click the Set launch options... button
6. Place this in the box:
-gl -w 800 -full
7. Launch the game, reset your settings back to how you like it and exit the game.
8. Do steps 1-5 again, when you get to 6 remove anything that's in that box and click ok.

When I do that, it still says video mode change failure, and it then runs in software mode. No fix at all. Any other tips?

Does it load into the game?

When I click it, the game launches, but then stays as a black screen without the main menu showing up.

this happened to me...instead of trying to join a server regularly launch it and try and guess where the options thing will be. For me it brought it up and i was able to change it in game.

It comes up on task manager as not responding, so the menu probably doesn't come up anyway even with the black screen.

Do what Jameson said, except for the launch options put this:

"-dxlevel 90"

This forces HL1 into using DirectX rather than "Software" or OpenGL.

Last resort - Copy your TS folder to somewhere else to back it up, uninstall half life, reinstall, run half life, exit and then place your TS folder inside your half life folder.
