I bought the original one yesterday and run it in window, but after changing resolution bigger I cant bottom of the window and change the resolution, so is there any other way to change resolution than from the game?

Go to your desktop and right click on an empty space. Then select properties. In one of the tabs there should be a dimension thing. Change that to 800x600. ;)

Sorry but it didnt help at all. :(

I still couldnt reach the options so I could change the resolution for the game, but what you said didnt help.

Any other advice?

Half-Life 1 uses a modified version of the Quake 1 engine. With that engine you could define certain game factors in the command line - such as memory heapsize, and screen resolution. But I dont know how that will work with Steam.

If you can start HL1 from the Start - Run windows button, you can define the width and height of the game.

It would look something like this, c:\program files\steam\half-life\hl1.exe -width 640 -height 480

That would force the game to play in 640 X 480. Unless those options and commands were removed from the Quake engine during the development of half-life 1. But I dont know how its going to work with steam.

And that's where I can help.

Go to your Steam games list, right click on Half-Life and select 'Properties'. In that dialogue, click 'Set launch options...' and enter what doom guy said (-width 640 -height 480).

I am going to guess that your problem is now fixed? And did the game run with the screen resolution set in the options?

Yes problem solved. I dont know about running the game because I just opened the game and I could see the options menu so I'm pretty sure the problem is solved now.
