You used the idle batch file, didn't you?

it has a habit of fucking your ClientRegistry.blob file in /Steam


Delete that file while steam isn't running, will be fixed.

TF2 started crashing on startup tonight out of the blue. It'll get midway through loading a map then bam, not responding.

like made backups via steam? it probably deleted the backups when you uninstalled.
