    Close down Steam entirely and try this:

    Navigate to your Steam root folder (by default it's C:\Program Files\Steam\), and delete clientregistry.blob, Steam.dll, and SteamUI.dll, then start Steam again.

    I'd try deleting the files in the steam folder (not the folders, just the files) except for steam.exe, and it should self repair.
