These are all of the contents that came with Half Life 1

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.

hmm, maybe the info would help??

did u try opening one of the .00 files with winrar?

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 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.

yea maybe a self-extracting archive....they have .exe extension...

I used win RAR to extract and i got the same message when i clicked the Install file :(

Wait a second :o , right after i extraxcted half life with winrar , i saw another half life folder that wasnt extracted, so then i extracted it and i got all these files.

This might sound stupid , but how can you tell me how i find my GFX card please. My graphic card is Radeon 9000 , on 32 bit color settings.

My video card is Radeon 9000.

Please can someone help :(

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

The "Configuration file" isnt in the Hl file I downloaded.

its not a file...its in-game....

Yeah it seems to be working now thanks. :D

anytime :)
