Well lets just assume that your day has gone better than mine shall we!? Oh and

congrats to Redwood on getting engaged!

As for the the videogame news around these parts for today:

Lastly, please do excuse the mess around these parts. We have a little more cleanup to

do so you may see a few minutes of down time here and there as we beef up the systems even

more. It's a good thing though!

      find your ClientRegistry.blob and delete that file. It's what I had to do when I had that happen

          She's done it. I spent at least an hour one day trying to troubleshoot it with her.

      Yeah I had that problem with Steam as well a while ago... I didn't know what it was or how to fix it, the usual messing around didn't do anything. I too had to reformat. It sucks :(

      try uninstalling steam? note that it will delete all your steam games so you can try backing up the shit in your steam\steamapps folder to save yourself on downloads :(

      That happened to me. I reformatted Vista. Steam has been a total burden for me.

      I had some random thing where I couldn't connect to Steam last night. Had to delete my client_registry.blob or something

      I'm having something similar. Sometimes i have an issue in any hl2-based game where a glass pane (breakable or not) is replaced by the wireframe for the glass frame and a diagonal line through the middle which I assume means the pane is actually two triangles and not a quad.

      If the glass is breakable and someone shoots it then the hl2-based game crashes. If it's not breakable then sometimes it STILL crashes but takes a while after I shoot the glass.

        Oh and it's not heat related because I had it on a cold day here and the card was only around 70 Celsius.

      Uninstall TF2, delete ALL local content related too it manually (no, steam doesn't do it for you), then re-download and install everything. Worked for Countersrike when it happened too me a year ago.
