Steam will not open! Help!

[XxbossdogxX]

I was happily using steam yesterday. Today i opened it up and i simply wont load. i click on the icon and it say's "connecting to steam account: XxbossdogxX" , then it says "updating steam information." So that's all normal, but 2 seconds later the steam icon de-highlights itself in the taskbar and nothing opens up. i checks the task manager but steam isn't running. However, as it says "connecting to steam account: XxbossdogxX" (before it just closes) i check the task manager, steam is there as a process, but so is steamerrorreporter. these both disappear a few seconds later when the thing closes/doesn't open.

 

I have already tried:

 

• running program as administrator
• deleting my entire steam folder except ,"steamapps" and "steam.exe"
• restarting my computer
• clicking on "steamerrorreporter" (nothing happens)
• making sure that steam is not starting up on boot

 

I hope i wasn't to confusing

Related or not, I've been having helluva time trying to get to their site. Along with that the client is not loading the Store page at all and I can't access my account info on either the site or client. This since yesterday, haven't used either in a day or so before that.

 

So, try going to the site and see if you can login there. Also, where are you located, might be related to DNS/routing.
