Can't launch steam

[owly-oop]

Each time I try to launch it, it just doesn't respond and freezes up everything on my computer including steam. Whenever it stops it just closes, and I don't see the steam.exe process in the task manager.

I don't know what to do

Reinstall?

Either reinstall, but first send in a ticket.... I had this issue, i just restarted my laptop and it worked :/

Just tried reinstalling and it still does the same thing.

I already sent in a ticket but those take a long time

Reinstalling seemed to create a second steam folder, that one worked but has none of my games and everything else

try deleting your client.blob file

This is like the "Have you turned it off and on again?" of the Steam Troubleshooting Forums.

You can drag your steamapps folder over into the new steam folder. That's what I did when I moved my steam install to USB.

Yeah if you move your steamapps folder and your steam.exe to a new folder and run steam.exe, it downloads all the missing files and effectively moves your steam installation to a new location. I used this method to move my steam folder to "D:\Steam\" so it's really easy to access.
