This has happened several times before then it seemed to cure itself but its
reoccured so Im asking for help. I alter settings from the default 1024 high
settings to medium settings for more performance but when I next boot up its
switched back to the defaults.

Yes this has also happened to be a couple of times, what i did was
reinstall which takes a while then update it all again and i guess
everything worked out fine for me...

I keep having to reset my speakers to 5.1 every time I start the
game.

Does anyone know how to stop Steam from starting Deathmatch when I put
the CD in? I don't play DM. Tried it once when it 1st came out, but
the latency was bad.

Umm, you really can't be that stupid.

Surely you've noticed by now that the retail version of Half-Life 2 no
longer requires the CD to run.
