With Vista, and some older video drivers, running Half Life2 in a window
solves the problem. You may have to use task manager and or the esc key to
switch from a black screen to a usable one, in order to make an in program
setting to run in a window. Setting Half Life to an SVGA resolution
initially may make it easier to set in game options (Windowed) before you go
for the higher resolutions that make game play more interesting.
