You have to delete the halflife directory. You've got custom maps and stuff so it doesn't delete all the info. Do an uninstall then delete the directory. If that still doens't work that means there is a registry key that contains the key information. Let me know and I'll search for the registry key.

Hey bobins the first thing u gotta do is go to start and goto "run" then u type in regedit then press ok then there should be like some files go to the one that says HKEY_CURRENT_USER once u open that up there should be a file called software open that then inside software there should be a file called valve open that then there should be a file called Half-Life open that then open up the settings file then there should be a file called KEY double click that and delete the one in there and put the new one that should work
