and the problem went away. (NVidia 8800GTX X2 SLI)

No original messge bit of message, guessing this is a responce to a very
old thread, and coming from Vistaheads.com.

Yeah, start a new thread, and try to explain the problem and include your
system info in the response.

- Go to the command prompt (hit run and type in cmd.exe)
and type this in:


- *net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service*

- Then you can type this in:


- *net localgroup Administrators*



and Check if *LOCAL NT AUTHORITY/SERVICE* is listed or not, if it is
there then it will worked and finally reboot your PC.

Easy fix for me. Locate your Steamapps folder and open it. For me the
path was C>Program Files>Steam>Steamapps.

Open this folder. Double Click on the folder that is named as your
Steam login. Delete the folder within for the application that is
causing the error. For me I had to delete my "Insurgency" folder. I had
other mods such as Day of Defeat & Team Fortress 2 that had their own
folders but since I did not have any problems with those I just deleted
the the Insurgency folder. Restarted the app after deleting the folder
and no problems. Restarting the app recreated the Insurgency folder with
a fresh hl2.exe in it and I think that is how the problem was resolved.
