Steam , Updating Steam Information

Post by richo »

Can't get Steam to start it sits there endlessly waiting for Steam Information , looked online and tried various things but it won't boot so to speak.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Go to your steam directory and delete everything except Steam.exe and the SteamApps folder

I filter my library by 'installed' content. That's the only way ive been able to piss them off.
