Thread: [Resolved] Steam Epic Fail

When i try to launch steam, the proc starts for a moment the shuts off, no messages, looked in the steam.log file and saw what i posted below. Ive googled it and seen a array of shitty answers if that more like responses but no cause or explanation to this.

I suppose this started this morning, cant say for sure since i booted my computer checked ttp and left for class (left comp running) i do not belive steam was running then, and was definitly not running when i got home. Nothing has changed on my computer since last night (steam was working fine)
I have no firewalls, no anti virus', no nothing security related.

heres a hijack this log:

Steam works fine from another comp on the same network,
When i launch steam it shuts its self down (not by another procc)

What on earth would be doing this locally on my comp that reinstalling would not fix, unless theres exec interfearing...


:8 :8 :8 :8 :8 :8 :8 :8 :8

turns out somehow my system clock got set to the year 2039 (even though its set to sync with the atomic clock) which caused many many problems.

sigh :3
