It's still in some type of compression, the installer is just uncompressing it.
so you might try findout out what compression it's in and use the actual compression program to extract it.

That is a rip by CLASS. All the Installer does is extract the files from the split archive (HL, HL.C00, HL.C01, etc). So instead of using the Installer CLASS gave, you can just use WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com) and open the split archive (HL, HL.C00, HL.C01, etc) and extract the stuff inside yourself.

Thank you so much you all. When I was downloading it on kazaa , the file extension was .exe , but when it appeared in my shared folder it had the winzip logo [on like a paper looking figure.

GFX Card= Graphics card.... its the l33t way to say it :P

ok....goto HL, then goto Configuration, then goto Video, then goto Video Mode, select OpenGL, and select a resolution....preferably 800x600 or 1024x768.... whichever works.... go ahead and let us know
