    Getting Half-Life to work with XP

    I'm hoping to get Half-Life: Source with HL2 next month, but in the meantime I'm trying to get the original to work with XP. However despite trying every compatiblity option it refuses to recognise that the CD is in the drive, and eventually quits.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this a lost cause? Am I in the wrong forum?

    Must be something wrong with the CD. A better idea would be to download steam, create an account and enter the CD-Key on the HL CD Case, you will then have access to HL and all mods related to it (CS for example)

    I'll look into that KeZZer, it is a pretty old CD (from 1997 methinks). This will probably negate my post to the CS:Source clan thread.

    All sorted now, see my answer in the CS: clan thread

    There seems to be some control issue though, I 'skid' a little after moving, I don't remember that from the first game. Looks gorgeous on my new system though, can't wait to see the Source version.
