So, Half-Life works properly by itself?

There ARE servers for 1.2.3, so perhaps you need to adjust your filters?

Are you using Half-Life 1 or Half-Life: Source?

You can't use Half-Life: Source with ESF, you need Half-Life 1.

Using any possible firewall?

Try actually deleting the ESF folder,
then re-installing it again.
After that restart steam, and it should work!

if it however does not work,
goto your game menu in steam, right click on half life > Properties > local files verify integrity of game cache.

Using any possible firewall?
skyrider, are you trying to get your post count up or something?
did you actually read his opening post?

Getting kicked back to the main menu can in NO way be related to a firewall and half life does work.

So it's obviously a ESF only problem..

then I'm stumped, could be a corrupted installer, maybe redowloading it works.
But yes, if that doesn't work.

I really wouldn't have a clue

If he wasnt using STEAM he wouldnt get the error where it says Steam doesnt own the game.

What causes that im not sure. Maby someone on the STEAM forums can better anwser that. Since i only saw that error a couple of times so far. Only adcvice i myself can give you is to force STEAM to reupdate itself by going into its directory and deleting the file named "clientregistry.blob" and then restarting.

Other than that i think you should try the forums on www.steampowered.com unless someone round here knows something (but i think thats unlikely)

I think he means, he's using a edited version of steam in a illegal way :)

software is really a bad choice.
OpenGL would be best but if that work use Direct3D instead of software.

Yea the screen going crazy is softwares fault ^^

Try updating your graphics drivers and then using Open GL
