Sadly Another Steam Problem

Xodlike

<div class="IPBDescription">=( different from others</div> Well anyways, no errors, nothing weird.
It simply wont do anything. It ends up in processes taking up 10,000k.

Your best bet is to just <b>WAIT</b>.

When steam appears to be not responding it's usually doing something to it's cache. Just let it be for a while. Have patience.

Erhm...if I wait it simply disappears from processes automatically.

as in the program just disapears?

like including from the system tray (opposite side of the start menu)

Suggestion:

Open Steam and litteraly just leave it (don't open the task manager or anything)

Xodlike

I did that...for 3 hours lol.
It does nothing to the start menu...
Sadly I dont want my hard-worked skills of NS to go to nothing,
So I am Formating my whole comp.

I take it that you have tried uninstalling it, then removing the Steam folder (and any contents that wasn't removed) then installing it before you bother to reformat your comp?

Xodlike

Alright, I have to bumb this back as the problem consists.
Even after going to DOS and typing Format C:, reinstalling a fresh copy of XP, the problem still persists.

Download a different steam install file and use it to install?

Xodlike

It doesnt seem to be the install file...the problem is with my account most likely.
