I am currently having a problem running steam games, up until two days ago everything was fine but now i keep getting this..
Two games won't run at all, i get a glimpse of a window stating preparing to start and then nothing.
The top left corner of the error message seems to change, I had one that stated there was a problem with Nvidia so I updated the drivers, I have no idea what this latest one is for.
I downloaded and installed the latest verson of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 64bit and 32bit
and also the missing dll file and copied it to windows system32, still no joy.
Short of reinstalling windows is there anything else I could try ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
