Ok, so I've been having some problems with steam and other programs lately. A week ago or so and steam would just go to like a hidden mode. So I did 2 restores, one to December 31st 2006 and then to like November 14th 2006. Then I went to GotFrag forums and found this nice little program and it fixed the steam issue.
Now, Steam is working. But when I join a Source server, it crashes at the end of retreiveing server info part. Due to some hl2.exe error. 1.6 works when I join a server once. Then when I retry or join another server, it gives me some error with memory. Xfire doesnt work either.
I'm thinking of getting another computer.
Some kids told me to delete "MMSYSTEM.DLL". I didnt listen at first. I went into their vent and they talked to me and then banned me saying it would have broken my computer.
Here's what I get, I just finished re-installing.
