Was just downloading the Mafia II Demo in steam when I close my F@H GPU Client and my PC Freezes so I do a hard reboot.

Once my PC restarts and I go to launch Steam I get Steam cannot connect.

So I delete client registry.blob and it redownloads still same thing. I delete a few other things same thing. So I download steam installer.msi and run it to repair steam but it won't repair because it too comes up with a network issue.

Anyone have a clue?

Check to make sure Steam didn't get blocked by a firewall somewhere. Try to uninstall Steam first, then reinstall it.

Thanks. I backed up my steamapps and uninstalled and reinstalled steam and copied it back and it works now. Gave me a scare..
