How do I fix this problem? I just got it, am not uninstalling Steam, and haven't signed up for the beta.

Right before I went to restart to see if that fixed it, all of my games were giving me that 'steam isn't open' error, and the integrity of the game cache was giving me an error. However, I could install games just fine (I reinstalled one to see if that would fix the problem)...

well I was in the beta, and thats how I fixed it, -clearbeta on the steam shortcut

nope, it always reaches 26%, then i get the error "Error copying SteamNEW.exe to steam.exe"

The primary cause of this problem is a confirmed bug in Windows 7. When "Application Experience" service is not running, Windows 7 will retain the lock on executable files for several minutes after they finished execution.

Most people who encounter this problem are people who decided to optimize their Windows services and disabled "Application Experience" service as part of that process.

Because of the above bug, Steam client cannot update itself since Windows 7 retains the lock on "Steam.exe".

So, if you run into this issue, first and foremost go to your Services and make sure "Application Experience" service is enabled and running. This will fix the issue in most cases.

Just wanted to say thanks for being easy to use and easy to find my old info. I did the "Install Steam" from the button at the top of the page. I guess my Civ V version was too old to update. Used your site, you/they found my old login info, and I'm all set now. Thanks folks.
