When i hit close it says hl2.exe-application error with a message saying "The instruction at "0x0e917e13" referenced memory at "0x00000038". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program. Then i hit ok and it closes out of the game.

Idk what to do to fix this, i dont want to totally reinstall steam cuz i would have to take all my skins off and stuff and i dont want to do all that over again. Please help if you got any ideas.
hanging out at my local gamestop waiting for ODST to come out and I decided to check out the forums on my iPhone lawl.

MBP my cousin had a problem just like yours, he could start CSS up but he can't join a server. he had to uninstall steam completely and reinstalled it.
