I tried to move my Steam Installation from my C to my D Harddrive( using steams guideline on how to do it) and now whenever I try to start steam it says:
"(major exception) you must be connected to the internet to run steam" (which obliviously I'm since I'm writing this) I have NO clue on what to do anymore ( I tried everything that the steam guideline told me about the connection problems but nothing worked..) I reinstalled steam and so on. Please help me I'm running out of plans on what to do...
When I moved my Steam files from my C:/ to my D:/ drive I just deleted and then re-downloaded Steam (it's 1.5MB).
Otherwise, seeing as you haven't mentioned if this is a computer/Windows message or a message in a Steam window, then I have no clue.
its in a Windows window as far as I can tell. EDIT: KAHHAHAHAAHA *fallsoverinlaughter* I found out what to do guys XD its so f**cking stupid that just hilarious...guess what? Steam hates Win7 so I ran the Steam exe in compability mode and it WORKS!
sorry for the overreaction but I've been sitting here for literally 2 hours trying to figure out what to do so please have mercy..
....great...sorry guys but by the looks of it I'm not gonna stick around...steam decided that I wasn't worth saving and completely fucked up....means ( at least until I reinstall win7 ) I'm not gonna play any steam games....sorry guys....
see ya around

Have you downloaded a fresh client and installed that?
Did you unblock steam.exe in UAC and windows firewall?

I've tried ALL of that but it doesn't work...I'm currently trying something different: deleting all regestry entries for anything valve related ( and it seems to work as steam is finally updating again Oo) EDIT: ok it seems to work so far now to see if TF2 isn't dicking me over ^^""" EDIT2: Well Steam seems to work but TF2 doesn't I guess I reinstall it completely ( after defragging files and verfiying the gamecache didn't do jack or shit) which means I'll see you guys probably tonight or tommorrow so unit then.
So last message for this Thread (please someone lock it) TF2 finally works the way it did before and everythings back to normal Thanks for trying to help ya all!
