Steam began suddenly being unable to connect to internet, thus making me incapable of playing games. After few days the problem still persisted. (Firewall nor antivirus had anything to do with this. I shut them both down to prove this.)

So, I uninstalled the wankermachine-Steam with the uninstaller.exe which, unfortunately, deleted everything from my desktop. Nothing else — didn't delete Steam. I had to delete it manually.

I downloaded the installer from Steam's official website and ran it. Instead of working, it started spewing out the 'fatal error' message: "Unable to connect to the Internet: Check your ♥♥♥♥" or whatsoever. We all can see that I, very well, am online and am having no problems with Internet connection. Didn't help shutting down the firewall and antivirus.

All advises that were found on the Internet were impossible to accomplish for the files, that were necessary to be deleted, didn't and don't exist.

Steam did work for me for months before this, and this did begin in all of a sudden.
Do help me, pretty please.

Where did you get this uninstaller.exe file? I don't have a file with that name on my PC..

Try installing or running Steam in safe mode with networking and say what happens. Details on how: http://www.howtogeek.com/107511/how-to-boot-into-safe-mode-on-windows-8-the-easy-way/

no kidding.

Whatever you ran as an uninstaller has nothing to do with the official release of Steam.

Hold on to your horses.

Yes. I misspelled. It is "uninstall.exe".

I think the point they're getting at is the Steam directory doesn't contain an uninstall.exe program.

In fact in ALL my steam folders including the games inside it, i have 3 uninstall.exe files. One for FEAR, one for Xcom and one for Trapped Dead.

They're not sure which uninstall you ran...

I have a uninstall.exe file in my steam directory but i have never "used" it directly that way, i usually go to the controll panel to uninstall something in windows.
Maybe running that directly file causes the problems you mentioned? Not sure i want to test..
Or you got a wierd thing going on your PC, have you tried safe mode yet?

Okay then,
I'm being sprouted out of my pine tree milk.

I'm trying to open my Garlic the computer in safe mode. I have Win 7 (64-bit) OS. I'm pressing F8 during startup. That should let me access the safe mode, right? At least that tip is being shouted all over the existence.
But my tripdigger is being dastardly dull and not willing to let me access safe mode and instead starts up regularly.

I'm amazed how disobeying a computer can be.

Other tips, how to open a win 7 in safe mode?
