Error 486

[Laza]

I recently had to get a new PC a HP with windows 8

I installed CS with 1.04 through the desktop and didnt have any problems playing games.

Then yesterday after some routine windows security updates whenever I tried to open or start a game its come up with Error486.

I uninstalled and then reinstalled game and 1.04 patch but still nojoy

Any ideas ?
