Now this may seem like a VERY stupid question, but do you have HL patch 1.1.1.0 and/or ESF Beta 1.0?

So you mean the game just crashes to the desktop?
Are you running software mode? Use OpenGL (select it from the Configuration menu, and click Video, and Video Options or something like that)
Software mode makes the game crash.

Well geez.....
You got me, I don't know of anything else that could cause this problem....well, one final hope, but you've probably already done it. Have you downloaded the most up-to-date drivers for your video card?

Very strange....
Sorry, but I'm stumped. Maybe PM a moderator and they can help you, don't think any mods have seen this thread yet.
Sorry, I don't know what the problem is.

I use Direct3d 800x600, and this occasionally hapens to me. Everytime it does, i restart me comp, then get back on ESF. It usually works, so that might be your solution.

maybe even re-install windows itself!

maybe it's some thing that you downloaded, or a virus.. or .. i don't know. a while ago i downloaded some video codecs then windows media player began to crash if the file i am opening is not using those specific codecs :S
