You need STEAM to run Half-Life.

Reinstall Steam and wait for it to update to the latest build. Once you're at the login screen, there will be a button at the bottom titled "Retrieve a lost account...", click that. Now, there should be two options to chose from, one being "I don't know my account name" and the other "I know my account name". Since you stated that you only know your password, select "I don't know my account name" and hit "Next". Just enter the e-mail address that your account is registered to (that's if you are still using the same e-mail address), and an e-mail will be sent to you with your username.

He is using WON, hence he got that error.

ESF will NOT work with any game other than Half-Life 1

1. Download Steam.

2. Run the .exe file you just downloaded to install Steam and let it update completely. You will need your CD-Key from the back of your Half-Life 1 case.

3. When Steam is finished updating, turn it on.

4. Under the "Games" selection in the Steam toolbar, select "Activate a product on Steam..." and input your CD-Key.

5. Once your CD-Key is authenticated, download Half-Life 1 from Steam and let it update completely.

6. Once that is done, run Half-Life 1 once.
Then install the Open Beta.

I can't play it either, at least not 1.3. Everytime I press the powerup button(e) Then it quits just like that.

Buy a new copy through Steam? If not, perhaps you should attempt to search for the game in local stores in or around your area.

I use STEAM, I have legal copy of hl. I have all I need but I still don't understand why it keeps quitting on me.
Try to re-install ESF Open Beta.

No problem. Glad you decided to buy the original, now you can play many many Half-Life mods ;). If you have any questions still regarding Earth's Special Forces, don't be afraid to ask them.

you could have just installed esf on counter-strike if you had the retail cd of it, instead of buying a second copy of half-life...
either that, or you could have got your half-life cd key back from windows registry and then activated it on steam... oh well, too late now anyway. :]
