MPG1770 January 16 Share MPG1770 GC Server Admin January 16 (edited) You probably need to delete Steam entirely from computer - there will be 'left-over' files still in your computer registry that are causing the conflict. Best all I can suggest is download Revo-uninstaller - the free one is good. Uninstall L4D2 first. Highlight L4D2 then click on uninstall - you will then see something like this: Click Advanced then scan - it will take a min or 2. Choose Select All then delete - restart computer to remove any left-over files. Then do the same with STEAM. If computer asks if you want to add to System Restore - don't - make sure the box is unchecked. After scanning is complete you will see something like the 2nd pic - choose Advanced then click Next You will see something like Pic 3 - choose Select All, then delete, then Next Any remaining files will come up on next box - Select All then delete. Anything that remains will be deleted when you restart computer. You should be able to reinstall Steam/L4D2 without any problems. Hope that helps.

MPG1770 January 16 Share MPG1770 GC Server Admin January 16 The only other thing I can think of is that your AV and/or Malware software is refusing to allow steam components to be installed - turn them all off including Windows security and firewall and make sure that there are no steam components running in background - open Task Manager and check on Processes, startup and services and uncheck Steam - you can also use Revo-uninstaller which is more thorough. Then retry the steps above. If that fails, I'll keep checking for possible solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
