"Failed to find Steam" Error Message

Closed
Robot3RK

How come when I play like Call of Duty Games on Steam for example (although not Call of Duty but some other games as well) when I click "Play" a message always come out and says "Failed to find Steam" then it opens the Steam Website from my internet browser!?!? All I know is to get rid of that problem I must restart Steam BUT THAT FIXES IT ONLY TEMPORARILY! So how do I fix it permanently so It won't bother me again?!

I have that with deus ex, the only solution I found is indeed restart steam and play game...

But it is not that big of a problem!
