Hello fellas,
I have this problem when my computer starts up:

Error:
A skin file which is needed to start this application is not available.

I haven't deleted ot installed anything lately, any idea what it could be?

What are skin files?

With no knowledge whatsoever I would say that an XP skin, as in your different styles that make XP pretty, is corrupted (XP is known to take bribes) Only a guess mind.

A long shot ...

Do you start Steam at startup and is it looking for a non-existant skin?

run up MSCONFIG, turn off things on startup to attempt to track the problem down.

know anything about this?
