Have you tried running Half-Life 1 compatibility mode for Windows 98?

Are you running it through Steam?

What is your integrated graphics chipset?

You may need to download AMD or Nvidia's legacy drivers

How much RAM? CPU name & clockspeed?

Are you running anything in the background? Better performance will be had if you close out any anti-virus scanners, browsers, and so forth (but you probably knew that alread

Is that a specific mode in Half-Life or do you mean the Windows 7 compatibility feature (actually I think the latter might just be about Windows XP)

Yes through Steam

Err hang on: Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset

Maybe, but i'm not that bothered now i've finished them (see below)

4GB and it's a Celeron dual core T300: 1.8GHz

And yes I usually close everything down (except anti-virus). I did also turn off my wireless connection and anti-virus etc when I had problems with Opposing Force but it didn't seem to change much.

Your specs are more than enough, even with the integrated chipsets.

Right clicking on the exe file or at least the shortcut on your desktop and going to properties then check run in compatibility mode for Win98. Should solve your problems.
