Can't Change Half-Life's Screen UI back to normal

[Guess What]

I installed some mods for Half-Life, everything works fine but now when I play Half-Life the screen UI is completely different. The game still runs correctly But I can't figure out how to change it back and I can't find any information on how to fix it.

Verify integrity of game's files.
Go to library, right click Half-Life, go to properties, then click on local files and verify integrity of game's files.

Maybe delete the most recent mod you've downloaded and verify game cache.
Other than that, i don't know.

This is to help people who have off sized or black screen when starting the game.
This will allow you to see the games menu options to correct the problem.

Use the game launch options.
1 Click Library in Steam
2 Righr click the Half-Life game
3 Next select properties
4 Click the box "set launch options"
5 Then enter the command "commands you want to use" no quote marks
EX: Then enter the command "-norm -windowed -w 800 " no quote marks
6 Click ok

Correct your screen resolution in game menu options
1 Start the Half-Life game
2 On the game menu page select option
3 Then click video tab at the top
4 Select the correct mode and resolution for your monitor
5 Click apply

Once you have the correct screen mode and resolution selected.
You will need/should remove the commands in the Half-Life launch options.

Good luck and happy gaming.

Note:
-w <width> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <width>.
-h <height> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <height>. This launch option does not need to be set in the presence of -w. The width value will determine the height automatically.

standard height size is determined by the screen mode -norm or -widescreem

P.S
Here are more "set launch options" commands that can be used for video.
