Steam Error

Kjeldorian Royal Guard 42 · Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 7:58 pm Post subject: Steam Error

When Steam tries to start I get the following error;

Steam.exe (main exception): Win32 Structured Exception Error at 1002A8EB: Attempt to read from virtual address (buncha numbers) without appropriate access rights.

Still getting it after reboot. Ever seen this (expletive deleted) error before?

right got some tips from elsewhere, not completely sure which bit helped:

run unwise.exe in steam folder and choose 'repair'
say 'no' if asked to replace newer file with older one
finish
delete 'clintregistry.blob'

also firewalls may recognise that the prog has updated so need appropriate changes even though some dont ask for new permission. so you need to manually tell your firewall to allow steam to access the internet again.

walla, worked for me. steam will reupdate and you will have to login again

juste delete the file ClientRegistry.blob in the steam folder, and restart steam.

Spank you Helpy Helperton.

I nuked the blob. Seems to be running fine.

Although I can not connect to Friends. Is that down again? Or do I have to delete the Son of the Blob?

I think the friends list only works when it wants to
