I beleive Ive gotten this error too...I cant really understand
why I cant startup Half-Life. At first I thought it was me using a pirated 
version so I got the retail version of generations but still I cant get
it to boot....why why why...I recently got mandrake 8.0 beta and Im gonna 
get the latest codeweaver version and try half-life with that...
But I really wished there was a true safe way of getting half-life to run...

Please tell me there is!!!!!!!!!

kind regards
alex...wishing for counterstrike on linux...:)
