Q: Well, I ended Dling HL2, I run it and get to the loading screen w / very hazy background.
I to load for a good 15 minutes . and see no signs of progress. Tried ctrl-alt-del or alt-tab out, nothing worked . I had a hard reset.
Now try again to do and I get an error message that says the file is messed up and that it will acquire the steam again. I press OK and then repeat it again and the msg again.
I to uninstall / reinstall if possible. Anyone know how to delete just HL2? I played CS: S and I do not want to reinstall that if I delete Steam entirely.
Thanks for the help, will check this thread tomorrow morning.

so in essence, the "loading" screen w/ the fuzzy/blurry background is HL-2 bieng installed?
no, that part should only take 15-45 seconds depending on your computer.
doh, then something is wrong w/ my computer

Re:ok, thanks guys, will give it a shot after work.
BTW, how long did it take for you guys to get thru that "Loading" screen? If it really does take like an hour or more, then I'll let it run, but if not, then sounds like I have a problem on my computer…we'll see.

Re:You should be able to right-click on the game, go in to Properties, and hit "delete local game content".
PS guy's suggestion works too

Re:Maybe you can just delete the HL2 content from the Steam Apps folder. Steam might just redownload it for you. Make sure to backup CS:S too.

Re:guy:
Had the same problem, well, part of it. The first time HL2 loaded it took a long time, I mean a long ass time: 2 hours, maybe, I don't know because I left the house with it loading, and came back to find the menu.
I did restart (cold) when I though my computer froze, but that didn't corrupt any files. I'm not quite sure how to uninstall HL2.
