HL1 help

[DESSTROYER]

sorry, but i didnt know where else to put this.

so i got a new computer for christmas, very nice. But i try running it on half life, nice, but i accidently set the settings to "OPENGL" and now my game wont run. When i first set it, it crashed. so i just restarted the game and guess what. the settings are STILL SET THE SAME, and every time i load HL, it crashes and i cant change the settings

so heres 2 things

1: why does it crash on opengl?
2: how can i change the settings without opening the game?

1. I don't know sorry
2. You can but I'm not sure on the command. Right click on half-life in steam>properties>set launch options. But like I said, I don't know what to type in there :/ Someone else on here will know though

Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00 GHZ (2 CPUs,) ~3.0GHz

You can also try this: steam://runsafe/70

No idea why it crashes in OpenGL mode.
Try adding this in the place Sam-2k suggested:
-vid_d3d 1
or:
+vid_d3d 1

none of these even work. any way i can just reset my HL1 video settings, and before this happened. I tried OpenGL and it says its not compatible so then it restarts set to "software"

then in windowed mode it makes the game crash.

Try deleting the config.cfg

didnt work either, currently i am deleting my half life local content files just to see if it works.

*EDIt*

OK this is just PISSING me off, i REINSTALLED MY HALF LIFE (UNINSTALLED THEN INSTALLED) then update and RUN IT
what do i get? THE SAME CRASH.

It's a bit odd... try scanning the Windows registry, look for Valve//Half-Life, there should be an entry called "Engine" - change it's value to something else (should be something like: 0 = software, 1 = opengl, 2 = direct3d - not necessarily in that order).
Can't help further, it's been ages since I played Half-Life.

Hmm...I bought it off Steam and I can play from all 3...
