Steam vil ikke åpne, får feilmelding. m/bilde

Hei, jeg måtte formatere PC-en i går, og så startet jeg å laste ned CS:S, og det gikk helt fint, men så måtte jeg skru av PC-en og legge meg, og i dag tidlig da jeg skulle åpne Steam fikk jeg denne feilmeldingen.

Steam support:

The mains thrust of their advice is that another program is interfering with the Steam installation. The writer describes a very odd function to the Steam installation, in that it first installs an earlier version of steam which it then begins to uninstall and overwrite with the current version. It is at this 27% point of the installation that the "hand-off" to the new installation is interefered with by "something". They mention two programs by name, Cybersitter, and Windowsblinds, (neither have ever been on my machine) which should be removed or disabled prior to attempting the installation of Steam.

They also go on to mention either a firewall or anti-virus program (mostly a firewall not allowing the modified program to run - a trojan or virus like behaviour). So Steam's next route is to blame some form of system corruption or infection.

Unfortunately, in my case there is no evidence (that my skill level can locate) of any of these issues. I ran full virus scans and used both Adaware and Spybot - Search and Destroy, to ensure my system was clean. If there is something wrong, it's something these tools can't find.

I then tried to install from a Clean boot (through msconfig, no antivirus or firewall running) - just the minimum necessary to run Windows - nothing else. Tried two attempts (uninstalling the partially installed Steam and cleaning the registry with Regcleaner) Same result.

 

Når jeg leser litt rundt om kring, ser det ut som om de fleste anbefaler å formatere disken igjen.

Jeg får prøve å reinstallere Steam, og se om det fungerer.
