Author Topic: Steam will not connect (Please help!!!) (Read 4090 times)

Mrmii21 · September 16, 2012, 02:16:18 PM

Every time I try and launch steam, it stops responding when it says "Connecting to steam account: [USERNAMEHERE]".
This is really pissing me off.

WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
- Deleting Clientregistry.blob
- Running as administrator
- Restarting computer
- Ending the "steam.exe" process in task manager
- Reinstalling Steam

My computer runs a 64-bit Windows 7, and I've seen that lots of people with this system also have the same problem.

Please help! Most of the games I play are on steam.

I don't really want to go to all the trouble of reinstalling steam.

Okay... I'll do it :|

EDIT:
Oh goody. Looks like I'll be here for a while. Copying 222,977 items. T_T

EDIT 2:
~~Nope.avi. My computer got stuck copying at file #6,011.~~
Nevamind. It's still working.

Oh no.
You know what I just realized? I'm copying it. NOT MOVING IT.

Mrmii21 · September 16, 2012, 05:00:12 PM

It finished! Now just to reinstall steam.

Mrmii21 · September 16, 2012, 05:31:42 PM

The steam guard is now not responding!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UU
Nevermind it's working now :P

Mrmii21 · September 16, 2012, 05:37:27 PM
