Yet another Help thread from VH

[Vicious Horizon]

I seem to have an unhealthy obsession with this forum.
After much googling and F5ing on the Steam forums, I've decided to go here, When I try to load up steam on mah computer, I get this:

I'll just bump this thread next time rather than creating endless topics ;D

did u mess with your registry, or did u use like some program to clean up registry???

[Calneon]

Tried reinstalling?

Lovely descriptive error you got there :p.

It's a C++ error in your registry based on the "Win32Registry.cpp"

However the "p4clients\rel_beta" points it towards your user using a Beta version of Steam, a quick google search of "rel_beta" throws up this (http://www.mail-archive.com/hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com/msg05686.html), it's not the nicest thing to read, but should solve your problem.

while where on a topic of things not workin an error messages, anyone know of a good free anti virus, i have norton but it won't find the trojan that windows keeps telling me that i have

[D_K_Head]

i'll probaly get laughed at for this, but I don't bother with virus protection.

[Vicious Horizon]

I know you guys'll take the piss, but I use onecare =/

Back OT, should I just download normal steam? Rather than the shitty beta that came with CSS?

[Vicious Horizon]

Double post cos i'm lazy, it's working.

[VoX]

You use a Steam Beta? *Face-palm*

[Calneon]

Surely steam should update to the latest version whatever version you installed?

[Vicious Horizon]

It tries, and then crashes. How was i supposed to know?

CSS works now, though a little vlaggy sometimes.

i have never used anti virus coz it jsut fucks up and slows your pc epicly

about steam, jsut re downliad teh steam installer, instal to a different location, eg - C:/steam/
login once
then exit
then cut all your gcf's out of c:/Program files/steam/steamapps to c:/steam/steamapps
then restart steam and your golden :)

[Marshy]

should i get anti virus on my new pc?

[Calneon]

Don't listen to Mitch, get Anti-Virus if you have half a brain. I can recommend Bit-Defender (http://www.bitdefender.com/), it's only ~£15 a year and I haven't had a problem with viruses since I started using it. Low usage too and it has a game mode.

[Marshy]

Im tempted by that norten gaming edition will that be anygood ?

[Snerfs]

Bullguard Gamer Edition is one of the best their is and i should be getting a copy soon :p

btw, does avast slow your pc epicly or...?

[ez64]

You dont need A/V if you use your PC properly, but for the love of god turn off auto scanning.

[Vicious Horizon]

I like Bullguard GE, I had it for a while, 'till my dad uninstalled it :(

Edit: Sorry, I have no idea why I posted there, and but of a necro..

Edit2: Or maybe not...

Is there a way to replace the scroll wheel in my mouse, or at least make it physically CLICK when it changes value? It's one of the smooth ones, and it really annoys me =/

Uh, no. You'd need to buy a new mouse.

[Target]

NECRO?

[Vicious Horizon]

Read the topic's OP, I've said that I'm going to necro this one instead of making endless threads.

And ok Phant, ty.

[Chalex4]

Please try to stay on-topic guys. If you have a different question, whether it is about antivirus or your mouse, then just create a new thread. Noone will take the piss :p.

Btw, I do have suggestions about AV software (and they haven't been mentionned here either), but you'll have to create a new thread about it. This is now closed.
