I normally get that error when I either run a program which needs steam (such as hl2.exe or studiomdl.exe) or steam itself with elevated permissions.

The error msg reads; SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0012E5BC) failed with error 1: failed to take master pipe connection lock When attempting to shutdown steam.exe it complaints first all games need to be shutdown. There is *no* game process running (no hl2.exe present in processes list) The steam.exe process needs a manual kill before it can be used again.
