Something on your computer is locking that file -- if you can't find anything obvious (like a virus scanner that is stuck on it, or a leftover steam.exe or hl2.exe etc process in task manager), try rebooting Windows.

I was playing with faceposer, and it crashed. I was trying to open the barney model. Something about creating a bitmap. No big deal, I try restarting steam and it gives me an error: Steam.exe (main exception): Cannot open blob archive file: CMultiFieldBlob(mem-mapped file): Failed to open file. oookay, let's try the old "delete clientregistry.blob and try again" trick. nothing. I went to steampowered, went to the new tech support system, and it tells me this could be bad. Valve, please fix your damn program :( or tell me what file is offending so I can at least know what it is... Let's hope a reinstall of steam will work. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
