Steam not loading.

Steam just started acting up today

I get to the point where i login, then it minimizes, and nothing loads after that. Iv tried right clicking the taskbar icon then selecting something like games or friends, then it all closes or crashes. No errors or nothing.
Iv tried deleteing clientregistrry.blob but it doesnt seem to do anything.

I dont know what thread to put this in. Its nothing to do with games so i just put it in here.

you could try reinstalling the client, don't quote me but it should leave your game files in tact (steam forums may be a good place to find out more info)

I've had it being really slow like this because of the store holiday sale page. Normally sorts itself out if I leave it.

Changed any antivirus settings lately? A lot of them flag Steam for some reason so worth a look.

delete the two .blob files in the steam dir, then run the exe as admin
