My head hurts from reading your grammatically incorrect messages.


Uninstall HL2, CS:S, steam.

Reinstall.

[15357]

Ok, so you can't install it back?

Backup all important files, Reformat.

 

[snake]

[15357]

I'm sorry, I don't give my e-mail to total strangers.


There is something wrong with your OS. A coruppted dll or a file is likely the reason. Try reinstalling Windows.

If there already registered with your steam account.Just get steam and enter your password then they will download.Unless your on 56k. :upstare:

Woah, random statements here...
I'll try and clear this up.

snake : Go to www.imageshack.us and UPLOAD your 2 pics. Every time you upload one, you get a link (like www.imageshack.us.(blablabla) ) . Copy that link and put it in your reply. Do that again with your other pic (Put both links in one reply please)

and i need to exit becos i can't get farder that that. hope u can help me now
i'm now gonna do defrag my hard drive

 

[Beerdude26]

Alright.

Download Steam here. Restart the computer after you installed Steam, and run the DVD again. If it STILL insists on installing Steam, I don't know what to do. But normally it should skip right to the installation of Half-Life 2 and the problem should have been evaded.

 

[snake]

i already did that and iff i want to instal the game i get the message to.

w8 a sec i now need to put in my pw again befor it not so mayby it could solved my problem.
nope i still got it but now i got it when it wants to install half live 2 and counter strike source

http://www.hl2*world.com/wiki/index.php/Half-Life_2_Installation : some more tips. Try those. (Remove the * between the hl2 and world)

EDIT : I found some Finnish results on Google. Does anyone here speak or read Finnish?

 

[snake]

[Beerdude26]

It's Finnish, from Finland

Here's the link :

Ignore the 'aidez-moi!!' link, it's a scam.

I went digging in the Steam forums, and found this out :

Problems with 64bit Steam Install

(I tryed so a search to see if this was already posted, however "64" and "bit" were under 4 letters so the searched failed)


I would just like to bring to attention a problem with the steam installer on Windows 64bit Systems.

As default, 32bit applications, are directed to the
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\Steam\"
Directory, however the installer will not allow the bracket characters in the install path.

Work Around:
- For those with this problem, that would like to keep their Steam install in that folder, simply change the install path to
"C:\Progra~2\Valve\Steam\"

Suggestion:
- Change the install program to allow for these characters. Time to start hopping on the x64 bandwagon.

This might work for 64-bit users who are encountering problems.
