I suggest uninstalling it and reinstalling it. If you have savegames then copy them first. If that doesn't work I have no clue.

Oh of course. Hmmm, I was going to put that smilie in there but it looks like I forgot. I think I'm allergic to one of the drugs my oral surgeon told me to take. I'm suddenly stoned for no reason and it's not too fun right now. It's harder to think straight, concentrate, and type.

I'll be fine. I think I'll help DD make some FS or something to keep my mind going.

Well, we seem to agree on answers to that HL question right now. I wonder if he'll do that then.

It's worth a try though. Might be a screwy install. Ummmm if he can't move then I can't see there being any save games...

I know I know!
The config.cfg is the file that stores all set keys.
Check in the hl\valve directory for the file.
If its there, check so thats its not writeprotected.
If its not there, either reinstall hl or ask a friend that has hl to send his cfg file.

That sounds right. I think you could just move the file out of the orig dir and I'm sure the game will just make a new one anyhow. I think.

there's your problem right there. It's trying to execute "confic.cfg" while the real file is "config.cfg".

Try modifying an RC file to correct the spelling.
