ERROR: Unable to open steam.dll - Fire-Bursts.com Gaming Network

#1 (**permalink**) 07-02-06, 22:07

Just now when I was playing I got this message about a fatal modul error, some model was missing from ns. Then when I try to restart steam, I get a new error message saying: Unable to open steam.dll for writing, and then closing again...

Anyone experienced the same ? Or have an answer to the problem ?

I tried to search around on the net, but I didnt find the answer. Howewer I did just what it said in your link BigTex, (close hl.exe from task manager) and it worked out just fine =)

"Right Click - > End process structure"

confirm it, and hl.exe is closed.
