I had to do it for "Everyone", because my main playing account is not an Administrator-level account (because only an idiot runs as Admin all the time )

I did not change it for "RESTRICTED" or "SYSTEM".

I guess that I'll ask this question here since it's as good a place as any....

Is it impossible to transfer ownership of this game? I want to sell my copy as soon as I am done playing it through. Or am I permanently stuck with it?

YES YOU CAN TRANSFER....IF YOU REMOVE THE ORIGINAL FROM YOUR PC........YOU CAN GET ALL THIS INFO FROM THE VALVE WEBSITE.

TRICHOMEZ, it says in www.play.com *you need access to the internet to be able to play this game* so im guessing theres no way of playing it without having to activate it through the internet.

Could you be a little more specific? A link or an e-mail address perhaps?

In the forum at steampowered.custhelp.com is a thread with this question:
Can I transfer my CD Key to another Steam Account?
The Answer is:
Transferring CDKeys from one account to another is not supported at this time.

@ente
Is Hijack's crack a fake? Have you tried it? I would try it but I dont have Steams exe!

[hijack]

Have u even tried it?

I made it myself and it works fine for me, but feel free to not use it...

I released the source code so if you don't trust me, check the code and build it yourself.

@ Hijack
No I havent tried it as I only have the retail version of the game and dont have the Steam hl2.exe! I was merely taking 'ente' word for it! But for now I will give you the benefit of the doubt and edit my previous post to something more appropriate! For now anyway until someone confirms it!

[hijack]

I included hl2.exe in the package

[Preach]

Dude! Hijack! Your the best! My bro scratched my copy of HL2, so I was'nt able to load it up anymore - but you saved me!

I just joined this forum to tell you that you sir are awesome!

Hijack's crack is used to eliminate the use of a dvd, but you still need to connect to Steam. How long will we have to wait before a patch comes out that gets rid of having to go online all together? Earlier in these Forums, someone mentioned EMPORIO. They have posted a patch (Half-Life 2 (c) Valve *PROPER* *STEAMRIP* *DVD*) http://www.nforce.nl/index.php?m=nfo&id=79344 Does anyone know if this patch eliminates the Steam Actvation? And if it does, will Hijack's patch be good to use along side of this? I bought the game and im also one of the people that doesnt have the internet on my computer. I just want to play Single Player and not connect to Steam.

I have the dvd version of HL2 and used Hi'jacks crack and i was able to connect with it to steam in offline mode.


To start steam in offline mode you must have "remember my password" option on the logon screen checked.

Also dont check "dont save account information on this computer" on the steam account settings screen.
