So i downloaded a torrent for counterstrike source v34 and I played it for a couple minutes then i turned off my computer off and the next day i did the same thing and it worked fine too. Today I turned on the computer and the .exe file that starts the game up is MIA. So i Deleted the folder where everything was installed and reinstalled the game. THAT FILE IS NOT REINSTALLING, how can I get the game to start up? this is so irritating. naturally I blamed the g/f. I rarely play video games, I was just bored at work today in between meetings and appts so I figured what the hell… any help would be appreciated. Btw, the file was abbreviated something like cs, css, cssource, cstrike, or something to that effect, Ive searched the harddrive for it and no luck. ---

It may have added some shit to your registry that is preventing a reinstall. You’re probably running windows? :picard: 😉 ---

Do you still have the install package that was downloaded? Try to go into the windows program manager and uninstall/reinstall from there. ---

you shouldn’t need a cd if you have a steam account at all. you can download directly through them. ---
