    Why wont half life work on my win xp comp


    it used to work on my other comp with i think win 98 or 2000 not sure...

    is there a patch or something needed for being able to play half-life on my comp

    the error message says please insert the cd
    I inserted on every drive possible, I even used virtual drives but before I started to open the game on the installation it said that there is a known problem with the win xp operating system so someone please help me....

    Yeah i didnt think about that the Steam Forums would be a good place to look. And assuming you own the game and just want to play off a backup you'll need certain files which are easily found on the web. The ones usually needed are no=cd/no-dvd executables. these will get rid of the error please insert correct cd/dvd etc..

    I don't need a crack cuz I did an image of my game or if that does not work, I can use my original till I get a crack (are cracks legal even on limewire)
