I am unable to create an account. I have attempted to create accounts with 3 different email add and I'm running out.
I have installed the upgrade and am using 128kb connection.
Each time I create new account I get same error message:
creat account failed.steam process call(login, blah blah lots of numbers and stuff)failed with error200:connection reset.winsock error 10054.
Any help would be appreciated.
Steam is swamped, all I can say is keep trying buddy :)

I know what you say BB but I've been trying since sat just to reg. I'm also wandering about the significance of the error message - haven't seen reports by anyone else of this type.
Thats the same message I got. I was lucky it only took me 2 mail addresses to get registered. Just keep trying I think.
It's a bug in Steam related to winsock.
I might be wrong but I don't think you are actually getting the e-mails registered. Have you created a folder with the e-mail as the name
i.e. C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.here\...
If not, then you may well still be able to use the original e-mail, as Steam hasn't accepted it yet. As they say keep trying. Until the bug is fixed you just have to keep bashing away.
If do have a folder in \steamaps\ named as your chosen e-mail and/or you receive a message saying "This e-mail already in use" then you have indeed been set up on the database and are now part of the knackered authentication problem. See threads elsewhere for a solution.
Good Luck
