Ah, internet working, but steam games are not.

[AWPerator]

Any steam game I try (INS, TF2, CS:S), hlx.exe fails to start, with an accompanying "failed to launch" popup error.

Help?
I've attempted to verify the game files, redownload the games, but nothing worked.

Doesn't steam have a log? Steam/steam.log or something? Maybe there is something in there that may point you in the right direction.

I'm not on a windows box right now, so I cannot help verify =\.

Reinstall steam and see if that works.

Good Luck,

Tried, nothing. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Are you sure hlx (hl2?).exe isn't blocked?

 

[AWPerator]

Disabled firewalls, nothing.

About to try the link, but the process you described didn't work.

Please let us know what you find out from Steam support. That way we can keep it in mind for future references.

Seeing as I have yet to receive a reply on the support website, I would like to revive this topic, with the use of Necromancy.

 

[Rabid Ewoks]

Did you miss my post?

 

[AWPerator]

Ah, forgot to mention it gives me a fatal error. Sorry about that Rabid.

 

[Rabid Ewoks]

I know you already tried this but when you uninstalled Steam did you delete the folder it leaves behind in Program Files?

Yes, but I'll try it again right now.

I'm desperate.

Edit: Nope, still getting a fatal error.

 

[AWPerator]

Bring Up My Problem!

 

[Dweeb]

Update or re-install...
At times steam is unstable or at least seems to be.

Tried re-installing at least three times.

And still, I request an answer.
