Hi there,

When I want to launch GMod 13 Beta this error appears. I have rebooted the PC to delete to reset the cache memory and it doesn’t seem to work. I have verified the registry with a software and it works OK. Can anyone please help me to solve this? What is with this error message? Thank you!

Error!

Steam startup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0034E608) failed with error 1: The registry is in use by another process, timeout expired
