Title: Steam problem
Post by: Whitey on January 04, 2007, 06:44:36 PM
I can't get steam to start up.  I get the following error:
Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to start Steam Engine: *SteamStratEngine(0x12e8c8) failed with error 200.......
Anyone else getting this?

Twice still no probs here m8..
 
 
i found this Whitey
 
 
So unto your problem.
 
Code:Steam.exe(main exception): Unable to start Steam Engine: *SteamStartEngine(0x12e8c8)failed with error 200: Connection Reset, WinSock Error 10054 "Connection reset by peer".
Lets analyse.
 
Code:Steam.exe(main exception):
The problem is in steam, not the games.
 
Code:Unable to start Steam Engine:
Steam can't start.
 
Code:*SteamStartEngine(0x12e8c8)failed with error 200: Connection Reset
This is the problem. The connection!
 
Code:WinSock Error 10054 "Connection reset by peer".
This is caused:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=294609 wrote:This basically means that a network error occurred while the client was receiving data from the server. But what is really happening is that the server actually accepts the connection, processes the request, and sends a reply to the client. However, when the server closes the socket, the client believes that the connection has been terminated abnormally because the socket implementation sends a TCP reset segment telling the client to throw away the data and report an error.
 
Try to configurer steam correctly.
