Alright, I'm gonna try to keep this a brief as possible, though I probably won't.
Just last night, I had to do a complete re-installation of windows 7 on my gaming desktop because my second RAID hard drive failed. Now I'm using a single, regular hard drive, and I re-installed everything I had before, same programs, same anti-virus, everything. Now here's my problem. Before my re-installation, everything was working fine. Now Steam has decided to start up, try to connect to my steam account, and then suddenly disappear. I mean disappear as in the process shuts off. I was thinking it was the anti-virus that might be blocking it (microsoft security essentials), but I was using that before with no problems and this is the first time any of this is happening. I've tried googling an answer, I've tried rebooting, I've tried re-installing steam, I've tried a whole bunch of crap. One thing that can be noted, however, is that I can re-install steam and it will run fine right afterwards, but as soon as I exit to transfer all my game files over, I start to get this "process randomly stops" problem.
Any suggestions?
