(did not bother to contact support again) The problem seems to lie with the Data Execution Prevention. I have DEP enabled for all applications and services (the 2nd option). To fix this problem, simply add "HL.EXE" and "Half-Life Launcher" to the exceptions and check them. CS and HL1 based games now work like a charmClick to expand... #1 Schadenfroh, Jun 11, 2007 JAG87 Diamond Member Joined: Jan 3, 2006 Messages: 3,882 Likes Received: 1 http://support.steampowered.co...td_adp.php?p_faqid=278 thats the best I can do. good luck. #2 JAG87, Jun 11, 2007 KeithTalent Administrator

It should half life error be in your "C" folder. Delete everything in that folder except for: Steamapps, Userdata, and the steam launch button.(Don't worry the folders will go back into place by themselves.)Restart your computer.Now you want to go into your steam folder where you deleted everything except those three folders.Now you want to lauch steam BUT ONLY THROUGH THE STEAM LAUCH BUTTON IN YOUR STEAM FOLDER.After launching steam through that button the files you deleted will automatically be put back in the folder. (this process will take some time)Now half-life should be all set to play (Just a side-note, after i did this exact process I was able to play Retro city rampage which was having the same fatal error issue, so this process may work with other games on steam)Well I hope this worked for you guys. < > Showing 1-0 of 0 comments < > Showing 1-0 of 0 comments Half-Life > General Discussions > Topic Details Date Posted: 24 Feb, 2013 @ 5:27pmPosts: 0 Start a New Discussion Discussions Rules and Guidelines Report this post REASON Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. © Valve Corporation.

I have tried verfying the game files, reinstalling the game, reinstalling Half-Life and then Opposing Force and, even restarting my computer. I am not sure why this is happening as I managed to play this perfectly fine a few months ago.
