Ok so tonight I took the plunge and wiped my M4 SSD and did a complete reinstall of Win7 Pro

Simple enough you would think? Yeah twas I guess until I got to reinstalling Steam

Boosh on the drive it goes, installs fine, updates fine, Log in it won't allow!!

As soon as I enter my Password it crashes and tells me there is a problem with the Bootstrap command (or words to that effect)

I've looked about but really can't get a answer that helps. I have uninstalled, cleaned registry, reinstalled and tried again. Same issue every time

Has anyone got any ideas? I've never had this problem before!

TIA

It worked, although I didn't delete it just renamed it :)

Steam booted though without issue. Cheers mate lets see if it holds out :bow:

Good times. :thumb:

Dont worry about renaming it, just delete it, it just gets recreated when steam starts anyway. :)
