C++ Compile issue =\

Ok guys, as I'm sure some of you have read... My poor PC took a nosedive with steam, and now no source games work. Here's the error:

R6034

An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more info.

Now, here's what MS (Microsoft) has to say about that.

I don't even know what that means! Help?

Sounds like a manifest error.

That's solved the problem for most people but it just seems like it's loading the incorrect version of the C runtime.

You can try downloading these:

That should install the current versions of the runtime and might fix it.

It sounds like you may be staring down the barrel of a full format and reload. However, there is a forum post on another website that has some helpful hints:

Additionally, you might have luck if you make sure you have the latest version of the Visual C runtime libraries, as (perhaps) one of them is out of date and causing this problem. Files that start with MSVCRT are Microsoft Visual C Runtime Libraries, so making sure they're up to date will help.

Also, make sure your video drivers, sound drivers, direct X, and motherboard software are all current.

After that, reload your computer. It sucks, but you should do it once every four to six months anyways just to deal with OS creep.
