You get this problem when you install PIRATED hl2.(my experience:D)
So no help on the forum
But you can always try google.

Get Steam here: http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=getsteamnow
Drag that dll into c/program files/valve/steam/steamapps/youremail/half life 2/bin
It probably didnt work because you didnt have steam. Install steam and then install hl2

I did not face any problem like that. I thought of getting the original game after it said that i need a internet connection to download the full game. I said no way with my connection.

I just do not know why is should i pay 1500 and it comes with 6 CD and yet it need a net to download the full game.

It kinda sucked.

you dont need an internet conx to DOWNLOAD the game, but becos the game needs u to create a steam acconut.

No the net connexion is just for Decrypting the GCF files which are encrypted so no download

Which is basically same thing. I heard it takes lot of time to decypt the files.

But sadly the anti-piracy tech was big failure

What are u saying ???
Steam is now a really good service and has overcome his early connexion hiccups.
Nowadays many developers are releasing games thru steam if u did not know
So it has certainly turned out to be a success.
I just preloaded Jade Empire and i am dying to play it

Iam talking about anti-piracy tech not the steam.
