Get this message when I try to start steam. Looks like some sort of software fail, but dont know how to narrow down what program that is causing it.
When I go onto "Add/Remove" program and are about to uninstall Day of Defeat it opens just fine. Kinda useless if I have to do that each time I want to og onto steam..

You could try the old stand by of deleting the ClientRegistry.blob file in your Steam folder. No idea what that does, but it fixes things sometimes.

um, just re-install steam, not dod (hl.exe) that is breaking. steam.exe.
save your dod folder someplace else before re installing then paste it back over.

Already tried everything you guys said before I came here.
Removed .blob 10 times probably. Reinstalled Steam on a fresh partition couple of times aswell.
It worked the other day, then the problem came back :/
