1.) Download STEAM from www.steampowered.com and install it.

2.) Create an account with STEAM.

3.) Register your Half Life CD-key to that account.

4.) Wait for Half Life to install to STEAM and then start the game and play through the tutorial.

5.) Download the ESF 1.2.3 full installer.

6.) Install ESF 1.2.3 to your half life directory. Path should be something like "C: \program files\valve\steam\steamapps\<your account name>\half-life\"

7.) Restart STEAM.

8.) Run ESF from the desktop icon.

If you allready have a STEAM account with Half Life 1 registered to it you can skip steps 1, 2 and 3.

General info:
Yes you do need STEAM and no you cant register a pirated Half Life version.
The game will work only if you are using Half Life 1. So dont even ask about Half Life 2 or Counter Strike cause that wont work.

There's ways around steam out there, but it's not suggested. You'll not be able to play online with other people.

Sorry, but agreed. If you want official help from the forums, you have to get the game legally.
