its gone and emptied the whole list :shock: anyone had this kind of error am i being hacked? :?

Is this the same computer you were having problems with already?

Either way, it looks like you might have faulty hardware, in particular a HDD (as it seems to be having errors). I also noticed you didn't have much space left, or was that just the partioning?

One thingh you might want to try first is a virus/spywere scan, as this may be cuasin the problems. If that doesn't work, you may want to try a format-and-reinstall before buying new hardware.

HTH, GR

I had this happen to me too, I accepted the download and it finished within a couple of seconds... strange...

That sounds like some of the registery enteries concerning this had been deleted. Or some of the other files associated with it. It culd be a faulty harddrive or viruses and spywere, like I said before.

I've had the same with HL2 Lost Coast, and its not the reg or any other part of the pc, its [size=24:10c4f3fe10]BLODDY STUPID STEAM!![/size:10c4f3fe10]

Its servers download the info, it then does a check to make sure that the data youve just downloaded is correct by MD5-ing it, if it fails then it deletes it and you have to redownload it, im guessing that there is a problem with several of the steam servers as it has happened to many peoples computers, including mine which i checked and it is running perfectly,

wait a min, WTF wheres HL2!?! [size=24:10c4f3fe10]i h8 steam[/size:10c4f3fe10]

That wouldn't explain his second loss though...

Oh, and I don't think there's any reason not to hate Steam.

I quite like steam :) o and FYI i have 9gbs out of 160 left :lol:

You've used quite a lot of space then. I think there's something about keeping 10% of your space free on the Windows partition, meaning you should have 16GB free. Not sure why, its just something I've heard.

This is why u shud go to mac, not a single problem yet. Not even a crashed program

its 15% for the use of defraging and more efficient virus checking etc.

In about a week, yeah, real incentive. Anyway, look at one of the problems - Steam, you can't get that on a Mac! So it wouldn't fix his problem, just means he can't play it at all! Anyway, will you please stop telling everyone with PC problems to get a Mac, it's not very constructive.

Another problem with lack of space is that the read/write heads on the HDD will be neare the edge of the disk, meaning they skip more (don't ever fill a disk up, HDDs have been known to break because the heads came off the disk).

Dont the mac, make the arguement forum NOW, i want an arguement

OK, give me a min.

damn ok thx for the hints/help :o btw my steam has feked up it says my password ticket has expried and it asks me for my password, I put it in and it says incorrect :S:S wtf? anyone know why its doing this? :evil:
