1. I installed half-life 2 from CD.
2. I then realised that my CDs came without any CD key and I had thrown
my receipt away.
3. I then bought it from Steam. Steam did a small amount of
downloading, and I've been playing it for more than a month.
4. Now my Steam icon says "Steam - updating - 51% complete" when my
mouse pointer hangs over it in the system tray. Clicking on the icon
with either mouse button does nothing.
5. Attempting to run HL2 from CD or desktop icon does nothing.
Attempting to run Steam bails out, saying an instance is already
running.
I've tried all the obvious things. How do I fix this?
