1) Open Steam
2) Go to Library -> Tools, do you see Source SDK Base 2006 as "Ready to play"? If not install it.
3) Go to Library -> All Games. Open/play Half Life 2 (regular Half Life 2 not deathmatch, episode one, etc.). It should open and get to the Half Life 2 main menu screen. Press Quit and close Half Life 2.
4) Go to Library -> Tools. Double click Source SDK Base 2006 to open it. Once you get to the main menu (may look different from the Half Life 2 main menu) press Quit. Opening these things can finish configuring some missing files.
5) Open Alive. Go to the Alive Main Menu. Under Games, Choose Half Life 2
Everything should work. Let me know if you have problems. If you can't get Half Life 2 to open (steps 3 or 4) you probably don't have a good enough video card or the correct manufacturer video drivers installed.
Best,

Hi Leandro
This issue isn't with Alive, but I googled your problem and found this common solution:
In steam go to File->Settings
Select the "In Game" tab
untick "Enable Steam Community In Game"
Click OK
Run Game
Let me know if this helps.
Otherwise, did you download / install Source SDK 2006 before you tried to run BioMod the first time?
Best,
Ryan
