Ok ill try those options. thank you for the advice and i got it when it first came out idk why. just never bothered to open it cause i had it on the xbox. i sold that and my games to get a 360 so... yeah. thank you.
i fixed the steam problem the pop still shows: Installation of Half Life 2 retail standard is required before continuing. Please insert your Half Life 2 retail standard CD/DVD into the drive and select install from the autorun menu.
"OK"
i tried what you said and now i acant even access steam. i tried reintalling it but i cant do that saying the folder needs to be empty when it is. this is really starting to piss me off!
To anyone who can help me.
I got a new pc and got my retail copy of half life 2. I installed it but when I tried to activate it on steam via cd code a popup tells me I need to install the retail standard of the game (the cd). But I've alredy installed it so what do I do? Steam isn't...
