Sorry I couldn't make it guys.  My Steam was acting gay as always, I finally got around to sending in a Support Ticket.  If you guys could help I would be grateful.


--- Quote ---Steam Will Not Start

I've had Steam for just about 4 years now, and suddenly this past month I couldn't launch Steam. It would sit in my processes menu using 14mb of RAM, but 0% of CPU usage. I would end the process, and restart Steam only to find it sitting in my Task Manager doing nothing again. I read plenty of other people having the same problem, and many people said the deleting the ClientRegistry.blob would fix it and reupdate Steam. It does reupdate and gets to 100% but then the update box disappears and nothing happens. I also looked at the programs that could interfere with the start of Steam, and I have none of them. I uninstalled my Anti-Virus (Avast) just to be sure, but that didn't make a difference. I added an exception on my Firewall for Steam, but still no luck. I even totally uninstalled Steam, then reinstalled it, but that didn't fix it. I haven't done anything, or downloaded anything that would make this randomly occur. Please help.

mb go into your steam folder and delete every thing BUT the folder steamapps and the file steam.exe

Restart steam and it should download all missing files and start updating.
