right i have a problem with half life and i've been through the search function and couldn't find a anwser for my problem.
I installed the game and also the latest patch, when i play in direct3d the game plays (very fast time wise by the way) but the console "~" is not available and if I hit esc I get no menu but a black screen. If I try opengl I either get a white screen after starting a new game or it locks up at loading.
i can't figure out what to do and it's really starting to wind me up. i know some peope just say hit the f-key for quick save but this doesn't really help when i want to play c-strike online. please help me.

I get the same problem when I hit the ESC key. What I do is I hit F10. Can't say I've tried Open GL because I like how Glide looks better. I don't get the console in single player mode Half Life, but I can get it in Team Fortress Classic and Counterstrike when I'm playing online. I don't play HL online so I dunno if I can get the console there. I can't remember, are you supposed to get the console in single player mode?
