[M's]

Got home today all ready to play some DOD:S and low and behold steam done it to me again. . Lost all games and server info wich ain't that big of a deal. My question is am I doining something to cause this????

[M's]

Ugh i know STEAM is really starting to get on my nerves these days to

[l3eeron]

delete the clientregistry.blob, then restart steam

[M's]

Done that and still having major problems l3. as of right now it tries to reinstall itself and can't find the install program?

Umm make sure there isn't a halflife update paused as it's the base for all the games if it's not up to date nothing works correctly. Sometimes when you enter a game to play it stops the updates and then you have to rerstart them manuially, because STEAM gets stuck on stupid.

lawlz my steam does the exact same thing all i did was just system restored it when it was working and it just works fine, if if u dont want to lose any files but it in a flash drive our just have burn data on a cd. It works for me i just burn it cd restore it then put all the files on cd to computer then just erase the cd with nero.

Maybe its your computers specs, our u can also try disk defragment it will take forever but might fix the problem, our restoring windows and having the backup files(ive all ready explained that) and install a anti-virus program called avg type in google avg free and u will find it (so no virus could have maybe got onto thoes cds) so choose wisely.

if the prob continues contact steam support there may be others with the same problems and they may have a fix for it
