OP
Thanks! Never heard of this file..was it posted on here before?
It's that compatibility patch from microsoft that screwed it up... here is the .inf someone made to fix it:
halflife.inf
Save this, right-click it, and choose install. This removes the compatibility info from the registry, allowing it to run normal again

yeah, someone posted it here a few days after the compatibility patch was released....
