Has this happened to you? This started happening for me after the Oct. 3rd Update.

Everytime I try to load Half-Life, it just freezes on that screen where Gordon is holding the poorly construchted shotgun, with no menu items. Also when this happens i cannot:

Alt-Tab
Ctrl-Esc
nor Ctrl-Alt-Delete

Steam/Halflife gets the award for the first program to crash my XP SP2! :x

I've searched around on Steampowered.com, and google, with no help yet...

Thanks Muzzie, that did it, 'cause it's working now!

It was weird, the splash screen was just stuck there, but I could still click on stuff underneath it like windows key+L to lock it down, and then hover my mouse to the lower left to shutdown, but that was about all I could do!
