I wanted to play Half-life again, just for the nostalgia, and when I go to run it, it comes up with this message:

Keyboard bindings FILE
'kb_keys.lst' is empty


It won't let me play the game. I have only had this problem on a laptop, never on a TOWER before. The comp is older, Pentium 1 200MHz, 64MB ram, Win98SE. I have run Half-life on a computer exactly like this one, with no problems. Is there a fix somewhere?

A google search brought-up this page: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/games/half-life/ and this was the answer...

"Keyboard bindings file 'kb_keys.lst' is empty" Error
"Could not open bitmap file 'gfx/shell/btns_main.bmp'" Error

If you get one of these ERRORS after installing, it almost
certainly means that you don't have enough free space left on your
hard disc. Remember that you need about 500MB free to install.

[glb]Flame[/glb]Open in wordpad 'kb_keys.lst' from your game directory -> \valve\gfx\shell ; then copy everything that is written down,and paste in 'kb_keys.lst' . Good Luck!!! I will separate it in two because is to long for a message.
