This is caused by a damaged or incomplete GCF file most of the time. Make sure when you right-click HL in Steam and click properties, that it's at 100% amt acquired, and ready to play offline. If it is, and you still get an error, try backing up your GCF and 'Delete All Local Game Content' and reinstall the game, which will give you a fresh install and may fix the problem.

AH Thanks it worked!! I can finally map once again!
