Use CCleaner and see if there's a problem with your registry. There could be a conflict with your steam install
Not really, if you look around you, you'd realize that every person here, and elsewhere, unless you went to a ihatesteam.com type of website, is, and will be, telling you the same thing Tell me, if it's steam, why is no one else having the same problems? I'm not saying steam doesn't have problems, and that there's never anything steam does wrong, but you're literally stating that nothing works on steam and therefore it's steam that is at fault when the reality of that is, if that were true, you wouldn't be the ONE person to be experiencing this, there could be 100 of you and it still would all be your PCs, because small numbers = computer or user error You're just too blind to see that sucks for you in the end in reality
guaranteed fix. Buy entire new PC hardware including all wires and peripherals. Get a new ISP and have someone install Windows, drivers and Steam for you...that has to work:banana: if that doesn't, i'll drink my own pee and put it on youtube
^^ Yep. Once, after a registry cleanup, I had a problem where the Steam Service wasn't starting up right. So while Steam itself would run, the service that is needed to "kick off" the games wasn't. Other thing it could be is a problem with a VS runtime component (not unheard of...)
which should also be fixed with a reformat of the PC, i'm not saying that you should take that big of a jump just for steam, but from what i got from those suggestions your steam registries have been screwed up and typically that would only happen if you've messed with your computer for way too long without a reformat not impossible though
It's a Steam issue in this one case. However, just because it messed up once (which is rare for everyone else for that game and the majority of the time) doesn't mean the program is poor. It's like driving a car and the spark plugs go bad early, then cursing the brand and never buying from them again. It was a freak occurance.
