Try re-installing Steam. Please note that this is most likely a Steam related error but I will definitely help you as much as I can

Restart the computer and try again.

i tried restarting my computer but let me do as you say and try to re-install steam. I hadn't tried that yet.

You might want to back up your 'Steamapps' folder found in either:

C:/Program Files/Steam (32-BIT)
OR if you have this folder:
C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam

That way you don't have to re-download all of your Steam games

I've gotten the message a few times from steam that the application is already running and I therefore can't start some game. Try opening the Taskmanager (if that's its english name ^^), go to processes and turn off steam from there and then start it again.

Also make sure that gameoverlay.exe (can't remember the exact name) in the processes is not there, and if it is, end the process. I've had to do that a couple of times to get some games to work.

Still doesn't work. and even worse, after that steam uninstall and re-install, I lost Half Life. It's in my library, but I can't launch it anymore. This Amnesia game is a curse for me... >.>

Try launching Amnesia directly from the install directory. Right-click on the game in Steam library. Then click 'properties', then go to 'Local Files' tab and click 'Browse Local Files' and if not already, go into folder called 'redist' and start Launcher.exe (most likely will just appear as 'Launcher')
