Apparently, you are using a resolution or refresh rate that is not supported by your monitor. You will have to change your resolution or refresh rate in a config file if you can't get in the game anymore. Not sure what the config file was called though, I'll try to find it, or maybe someone else knows.

Edit:

Can't seem to find the config file that holds the resolution. Anyway, try this:

1. Open Steam
2. Go to Library
3. Right click on ESF
4. Click properties
5. Click Launch Options
6. Then type:
-w 1024 -h 768
7. Click ok, start game

Change -w and -h to your resolution if you want to. It may be possible that you need to repeat these exact steps for the Half Life game as well, seeing as how they share settings.

Hope it works.

I want to ask something.
1.) ESF Final is steam (like you said). To play we must buy half life for 10 $?
2.) ESF Final like NNK can be cracket to non-steam version?

You MUST buy Half Life in order to play ESF:F. ESF:F will NOT work with a cracked version.

Did you change Windows' resolution, or Half Life's and ESF's? Because you only need to change the resolution of both Half Life and ESF.

That post doesn't deserve an answer.
I hope you haven't forgotten that hacks and warez aren't allowed on these forums

Stop being a cheapass. As for the rest, sounds like a monitor issue more than anything. Like they said, you were probably trying to run it in a mode not supported by your monitor. You should try to find out what is supported by your monitor (I think there's a way to do that in windows where you set your desktop res)
