matty_superleeds Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 when i come to download steam it just comes to the install bit and then says"error 1234. the folder path 'my pictures' contains an invalid character" i click ok. then it all goes off and i get another box saying "instalation ended prematurely because of an error" what does this mean and how do i sort it? thanks in advance - matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 20, 2010 Administrators Share Posted October 20, 2010 Try the following: Run RegEdit (START ---> RUN ---> Type: "regedit"). Now navigate to: My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders) You will see "My Pictures". Just delete it. If you have other problems like the My Music folder giving the same error, delete that one too. Let me know how you get on, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
