appcompat.txt error

[bloodyknees]

okay i dont know what is wrong with my CSS or Hl2. Whenever i open any of them i get this error regarding appcompat.txt under local settings and temp. i have searched steam support page and some other forums but i dont know wat to do. I have played these games b4 on this computer and had no problems. Help pls?

This isnt really the forum for client support, this is about the dedicated server.

But anyways, what's the error?

it just says that hl2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. then it says its about a file called appcompat.txt. This happens everytime i try to launch it. I tried deleting the file but it just comes back

Hmm. Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements? If not it might be the problem. I don't know much about this so I think best to do is reinstall the game. If the problem keeps coming back just open a support ticket on steampowered.com
