You didn't create a stream account when you 1st
installed? You shouldn't need
anything more than that to install w/o the CD over the
internet.

If I recall correctly you can't play the game without a Steam account to
validate and activate it. When my hardrive died and I replaced it when I
reinstalled the game with my legitimate CD key Steam complained saying
my key was already in use. This is with the same Steam account. My best
guess

telling me that my cd key was already in use. No Duh! In the end they
wanted me to cut my barcode from the box and send it with $10 to get my
game
The DRM stuff is a pain, but the game itself is absolutely
spectacular, one of the best ever.

Have K-Lite or other CODEC packs installed? Good luck avoiding blue
Funny how most non-game software vendors do just fine
with license keys
internet validation.
At least HalfLife 2 switched to only needing a valid
serial number steam
account to install play without the media checks.

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Steam is another DRM disaster!

Something specific Stan?
I know I was not happy with it at HL2 release and
there have been troubles with
availability
All I can say is after a year of my game box being
dead, I simply signed on to
my steam account had a full patched version of HL2
downloaded installed
without the need
