On Steam and It Not Working

danieldwilliamSparked by a mention on LJ I am keen to purchase Crusader Kings II. I don’t play many computer games but I do like to have long running strategy game to lose myself in when MLW is out. I’m currently playing variant of Civilisation, or as MLW calls it My Funny Little Game.
I thought I would experiment with Steam. It’s time to join the 21st century, delivery would be quicker and they had a sale on.
So far it’s not working.
I can download the Steam client and then the game but I can’t get it to work. I get a Start to Play screen that looks like it is from the game but when I click on it I get either nothing or an error message.
I’ve tried un-installing then re-installing both the client and game.
The error message tells me the computer can’t find a .dll file. The name of which is a series of letters and numbers (but which I have written down.)
I’m feeling more than a bit baffled and worried that I might have to resign my membership of the 21st Century.
Also, from a customer point of view, less than delighted.
Next stop Steam Customer Support.
