In other words, HalfLife isn't correctly switching between 2D and 3D rendering (unlike most 3D games, HalfLife uses a 2D render for the menu subsystem). I've seen this happen rarely with Nvidia cards, so I think the gamecode itself is a bit buggy, but there have been several previous issues between ATi boards and Half-Life. Try searching their site and see if any of the various bugfixes help.

BTW what happens if you change between using OpenGL and Direct3D as the rendering device? Does the errant behavior occur with either?

Also, you may wish to switch to using the QuickSave/QuickLoad hotkeys and only performing a 'full' save occasionally.
