reinstall HL too? Or were you dual booting and HL was installed in another OS already and you were just remapping the shortcuts; hmmm, but thinking about it, when you remap a shortcut to another OS, it usually re-asks you for the key anyways.
You will have to tell us exactly what you did etc.
I am intrigued

Well, one thing is sure, the key was not found from the freshly formatted partition. Here a couple of guesses in addition to Yakkobs
- you copied over some files to the fresh install
- or maybe imported some registry settings
- your Halflife CD was "fixed" before burning...
- Half-life has a malfunctioning key check
- you first installed some other game from Sierra (r another game using the Halflife engine) that took care of the key.
Iteresting, let us know if you find out.
