I've got a MAJOR Steam Problem right now!

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..

Have you started a Steam support ticket?

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.
