December 18, 200322 yr I found this after I crashed and talked to other that have. This is from the steam forums. This seems to have worked for me. If you get a crash after restarting/relogging into Steam!!! If after the latest update, you get an error looking something like this... steam.exe (main exception): Win32 StructuredException at 0163048B: Attempt to write to virtual address 2439276314 without appropriate access rights. STEAM.EXE - APPLICATION ERROR The instruction at "0x1000ecd" referenced memory at "0x016470c0." The memory could not be "read." Here is the fix Go into your Steam folder, and delete the file "ClientRegistry.blob". Start Steam, and it should work. This is a known issue with the Steam developers, and I am sure they will be working on a fix to push out soon. In the mean time, an apology for this error :^( http://steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=44186
