Well, the error report is as stated, vague. It just says "theres a problem SORRY "

It's original, from Steam/retail?

If not, then gtho. We are not helping pirates here.

Speak for yourself there, buddy.

.... Fuck, I have no idea how to help the guy. Sorry, friend.

Did a quick search on Google myself and it seems Source games and issues with the shaderapidx9.dll are quite common.

It seems to be a possible resolution to this issue and since it's a video and dead simple it shouldn't take that long to try it out. If it doesn't work then it may take a little more work to get it resolved.

I'll try it tomorrow when I'm more awake and tell you the results thanks again

Tried it this morning, and nothing at all unfortunately :/

Steam has now managed to update itself as well. But it still doesn't workk, stupid computer games. I'd like to say from now on I'm sticking to PS3 games, but I love L4D...

Sorry to have left you hanging, was busy. Sadly I checked all over and the only fixes I could find for XP are 1) System restore to well before the problem started which may or may not work. 2) Total reload of the system, as it appears a Steam update may have corrupted something in Windows. There is a work around for it in Vista, but unfortunately it does not work in XP. Anyway, hope the system restore works, if not backup data and reload.

Damn :/. I'll try em out I guess, cheers

I did a system restart, like a rollback as you said, and it worked! Thankyou very much, I was preparing myself for the worse
