There was a 110 mb update to Steam on Wednesday. For me, it has completely broken Steam.
I've done the usual:
delete everything but steam.exe and steamapps
move steamapps elsewhere and try reinstalling steam
disable antivirus and try it all again
minidumps don't process a dump file
manually clear registry and try installing steam to a separate directory
install as administrator (I have admin privileges on this account, but manually selection run as admin)
cannot install it in safemode
copy a working steam directory from another w7 64 bit machine to my machine and tried launching the steam.exe within (resulted in no different behavior)
The Valve forums are filled with similar complaints but absolutely nobody from Valve has responded. I've had a support ticket open since the update as well with no replies. Is anyone aware of solutions to this or perhaps a way to kick Gabe Newell's ass into posting an official response?
