I just got half life yesterday and I installed steam and everything I registered my account. Now whenever I got into steam everything is fine till I load a game and go to server list now whenever I try to connect to one the instant I click connect it says "steam has found a error and needs to close* or something like that than I need to restart my computer. Please help me I dont wanna have a 20$ paperweight.

Steam is known for constant problems. I bought Half Life a few weeks ago to play CS because you need a valid serial #. Steam updates their software damn near every other day so it should resolve itself. Some updates work great and some creates even more headaches. I wish they would just leave the damn thing alone. It's a pain in butt, but it will most likely fix itself. The only other thing I can tell you is to reinstall, but remember your Steam account info. Good luck. TECHZAPORT OUT!!!

Tell me about it, there's nothing wrong with any of the mods. The updates usually come out every wednesday, and in most cases its fixing their own updates. PLUS they don't even have enough bandiwdth for these updates GeForce FX5200 128Mb AMD Barton 2800 @ 2.3Ghz Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe AERO 7 LITE CPU fan 512 DDRAM PC2700

Steam has lots of bugs and all these crap just stick with 1.5 if you can.

Thanks also sometimes when I start up my computer it will say "steam has caused an error in STEAM.DLL steam will now close" that happens alot whats that supposed to mean?

Also when I installed steam it deleted CS 1.5 now im really pissed

DAMNIT!!!!!!! I hate steam now EVERY time I start my computer up or reset it that stupid error comes up :( why does steam have to be such a damn headache?
