factory reset the router. haha... you said you're at uni? because if you are then i would just call up the IT department and start talking... IT nerds are much less helpful if you bitch or scream... Speaking from experience

ahhh i see i'll do that now thanks, I'm at home now although i'm studying Bsc Computer Science lol

EDIT: Reset the modem and the ports are still closed Thinking of trying XP at this rate to see and a fresh hard drive?

I had a similar issue. All I did was grab a Steam install and install over it. Seemed to work fine.

Finally got it sorted, after many many attempts lol.

I took both HDD's out and connected one to my brother in laws computer by usb, formated and installed XP then upgraded to 7 again and voila

EDIT: Stopped working yet again, getting very frustrating now.. It worked fine, i installed all my usual programs, restarted PC everything was great.

I come back to it an hour later and turn on the PC and it gives me the same error

Now I'm almost thinking remnant malware.

Last-ditch effort:
Get GPartEd, delete all partitions, shutdown, keep off for at least a minute, re-create the partitions, reinstall.

what if the problem is that your upgrading winodws ? and some how steam won't work. yes, i know it's a long shot but that could cause an issue

Thanks for the reply, although I tried that also

I carried out a complete format of my hard drive, installed windows, then installed steam and it worked until i restarted my pc.

The problems have only started since the last title update, so does anyone know when the next one is due possibly?


EDIT: Finally fixed it now, I have to disable my internet connection and start it up for it to work n then just enable and sign it

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help
