Steam problem

[Whitey]

I can't get steam to start up.  I get the following error:

Code Select Expand

Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to start Steam Engine: *SteamStratEngine(0x12e8c8) failed with error 200.......
Anyone else getting this?

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.

No probs!

Although it looks as if they may be delivering an update, my HL-Deathmatch-Source is showing 0%.
