I get this error when I try running the game!

I have the same error, I posted in the other preload today thread but we should dedicate this one.

To all that are affected by this error list your specs including os / cpu / vidcard / video drivers

xp sp2 2180

AMD 64 3000+

ATI AIW 9600xt

catalyst 4.8 (upgraded from 4.7's after the error)

Ive included hl2.exe to the dep exclussion list and the firewall. This does not fix it.

Any other bright ideas out there?

Nope, [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\EncodeDivXExt] @="{E9F5B111-CACC-4FD4-81FD-4EB4FD6765A3}" dosn't

exist in my registry.

Ive now deleted all game content from within steam and logged out. I payed a visit to the install dir and noticed that the content was not removed by steam. So I deleted it and rebooted. Launched steam and redownloaded cs source and still get the error. Searching google and MS still.

got the same problem here :(

I posted that problem too in another thread but no solution...

I have

intel mobo

intel P4 3GhZ HT

1gig RAM

radeon 9800XT

catalyst 4.8

I don't get it..... and I cleaned format not long ago with a slipstreamed sp2 install

really ****ed by this... ohh and I sended a troubleshooter over the steampowered.com website.... so anyone who have that problem maybe should do that too....

if anyone get a fix.... please let us know here!!!!

this is not the same problem... not the exact same problem addressed here?

I can open everything else on my computer fine.... and all of the others STEAM games for that matter.

It's only CS:S source that is causing me that problem

On another post is said to go to your registry and delete something haveing to do with DIVX, but I dont have that in there :(

it's not for the same problem at all... and I don't think it has anything to do with our problem...

go to steampowered.com and send a troubleshooting log in the troubleshooting section....

the more people have this problem, the sooner they'll fix that (I hope ) :(

    • I think you answered why it gets so much attention in your comment. It's designed to make Windows accessible to everyone! It's a core component of the Windows UI, and 30 years of its existence is why it remains such a key component and receives so much attention to this day!
    • I agree with your points, particularly around workflows. But I think this is a symptom of the way Microsoft plans, builds, and releases its OS's, not about its UI ideals itself. It has historically been large jumps in UI changes between releases, XP > Vista > 7 > 8 were ALL significant changes in how we performed tasks. Then Win10 was released and updated twice a year with minor changes. This was somewhat nice as the changes were often minimal, however as it looked like the same OS for the most part, when something did change (like the start menu), it was a bit confusing for people who didn't understand that they had actually been upgraded, and why just this one key part of their workflow had changed. But I believe that was too slow, and didn't allow their future designs to be played out in that release structure. So the "last Windows version ever" was superseded with a new UI and overhauled once more. It too has changed quite a bit in its 4 years, but I think there needs to be an understanding of that change, which I guess we have in the "24H2" version numbering, but not in the marketing that most users know. The most consistent and clear communication of changes I think is done with MacOS. While I'm not a fan of Apples software, their clear and consistent release schedule, and progressively planned changes to the OS is easy to understand, leading towards a well thought out goal. Their users understand the branding of the big updates, and that changes will occur when they update, yet these are more subtle than changes we see in Windows 7 > 8 > 10 > 11 releases. On that, Windows 10/11 version updates just get lost in the vast collection of update types in Windows Update, and as such most users wouldn't know if the were on 22H2, 23H2 or 24H2, or even know what those meant. My thoughts are that Microsoft will drop the Win11/Win12 branding once Windows 10 has finally died. And hopefully, make it a bit more consistent with feature/UI updates sticking to an improved branded version/year release rather than "moments" or just randomly enabled elements in a random monthly update. Until then, even us tech users rarely know what features are in what release and if we will see it on our own computers. Get with it MS!
    • Hello, Horizon Data Systems, the developer, has been around for 27 years.  I do not recall hearing anything bad about them, but I also haven't used their software, either. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, I am wondering if this will go through an appeal process, or if the ruling is final? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Hello, I think it also depends upon what sorts of software you develop. My employer makes software that does rely on operating system version-specific functionality, and that is typical and normal behavior for our industry. While we do provide support for older versions of operating systems, it is only for a certain amount of time. If you still want to use our software after that, it becomes a custom support package, which isn't cheap. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
