Steam Error.

[TomHAVFC]

Just tried to get on FM and steam was working fine but FM crashed when it loaded up, meaning I had to reboot my laptop.

Rebooted it and tried to get onto steam and when I click on the steam icon it comes up with this error.

ERROR

Steam.exe (main exception): Cannot open blob archive file: CMultiFieldBlob(mem-mapped file): Existing file too short or long to be a blob

Anyone know what's going on and what to do?

try this

Completely exit from the Steam client.

Go to C:\Program Files\Steam (or the Steam directory that was specified during installation).

Locate ClientRegistry.blob and rename this file to ClientRegistryOld.blob.

start Steam again to allow the file to be recreated.
