Hi DuckTapeKing,

I've never seen that happen with steam before...it might be worth looking at a reinstall of steam to rectify. Or even talk to the people on the steam forums...they'd definately know.

Yea, reinstalling is the last option for steam - as you'd need to reinstall all the games too.

first thing i would try however, is to delete the ClientRegistry.blob file...and if that doesn't work see what Valve say.

I only have CS:S so reinstalling the games wont take too long, lol.

I will seach for the clientregistry.blob since the forum mods have to aprove you before you can post

Edit: That didn't work

I don't suppose you are running Peer Guardian are you? This can cause problems with Steam.
