How to reset the settings?

[EOTeal]

So, the other day i accidentaly changed my settings which made the start menu really zoomed in, and now i can't get it back to how it used to be. The reset button on the other half of the screen so i can't reach it with my mouse. I've tryed uninstalling it on Steam and downloading it again, but it diden't fix anything.

I have the exact same problem
But I haven't discovered a solution to it

[Detective Beijinhos]

Here's the solution (Not my idea, but -=GOz=-Blyte's idea)


Use the game launch options.
1 Click Library in Steam
2 Right click the Half-Life game
3 Next select properties
4 Click the box "set launch options"
5 Then enter the command "-normal" 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 resolution for your monitor
5 Click apply

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

Good luck and happy gaming.

P.S
Here are more "set launch options" commands that can be used for video.
-fullscreen : no framed window
-windowed : game will be in a framed window
-gl : open_gl graphics rendering
-software : CPU graphic rendering
-normal : monitor size 4:3 ratio
-wide : monitor size 16:9or10 ratio
-gl_vsync 0 : turns off vertical Synch in open_gl rendering (can improve FPS)
-nofbo : this turns off some advance rendering in open_gl (can improve FPS)
-nomsaa : turns off AA ;Anti-Aliasing
-w 800 : width screen resolution size other sizes can be used
-h 600 : height screen resolution size other sizes can be used

i have tried both but they do not work at all. any other command that could help?

When I type normal in the game launch options, the game is still zoomed in and when I type windowed I just get a small screen zoomed, that when I try to expand it, it just keeps the tiny zommed screen and everything else is black.

Do not forget about "sizedown" and "sizeup" keyboard controls.
When you first install Half-Life the "sizeup" does not have a key bind for it.
bind "-" "sizedown"
bind "=" "sizeup"

Can be typed in the game console or put in the userconfig.cfg file.

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

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

-window at launch options worked, played around with window a bit and finally was able to change resolution

Sorry for necro, but none of the non ingame solutions have worked, and i can't reach the video tab because its off the screen, any way to do this using console?

"-norm -windowed -w 800 "
