Type of issue: Steam

Brief Description of Issue:

So I can't open steam. I click on it to run and it starts doing a platform update. It gets to 99% then comes up with this 'ERROR: Could not open file vstdlib_s.dll'. Steam doesn't pop up after that and everytime i go to start it, it comes up with that error.

You don't happen to be using Avast as your anti-virus, are you?

Disable it. Try again. ;)

You should put an exception into Avast for Steam. I believe it is something along the lines of Real-time Shields >> File System Shield >> Expert Settings >> Exclusions >> add the Steam folder.

Only really heard of this problem from Avast users. It seems to believe that certain components to Steam are malicious.

      Unban Request

      By Sultan Cilantro · Posted

      Name: Aaron Steam I.D: 76561197976458086 Date & Time of ban: unknown Admin who banned you: unknown Reason we should Unban: I have no idea why I was banned in the first place. I've never used any cheats/hacks EVER on any community game. I am always very respectful when I am a guest on a server. I just don't understand why I would be prohibited from playing on your Day of Defeat Source server. I can't find any record of when this ban occurred or why or who initiated it. I'd really appreciate it if this action could be reversed so I can join your server again. Thank you. Respectfully, Aaron.
