Installing Half Life on Vista?

I was looking to download Half Life (the first one) from Steam. However, both the requirements and the recommendations say either Windows 2000 or XP. I have all the other requirements, but I was wondering if I could still download and play this game when I only have Windows Vista.

Hello SargenPiepa,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

You should be able to run Half Life on Vista. I have a couple friends running the game on Vista, both have had no problems, only an issue with Half Life showing up in the games explorer.

Half life and all it's modifications work fine, even on 64 bit.
I have HL on both my vista 32 and 64 bit computers, and no problems have arisen whatsoever.
