SESbb30 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 ok, after my pc got the virus removed, all of the programs i had installed got uninstalled, so i downloaded the steam install (yes, its legal) and it pops up with a message saying "error 1324. The folder path 'my documents' contains an invalid character". this is really irritating, and i dont remember my password for the account, so i cant login the website to see if somebody can help me on their website. if you can help, thank you very much.

SESbb30 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 yeah, the problem with that is that you need to have steam installed, and i cant install it for some reason. thats the problem im having. downloaded and tried to install it at least 15 times.

Maestro23 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Are you having trouble installing other programs after the virus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SESbb30 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 thats the only one ive had trouble with, ive installed mvp, spore, avg (anti-virus), itunes, and more. no problem with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. I just throwing things out here. Don't use steam myself. You might have partial files left over from the previous steam installation due to the virus. Probably got leftover Registry entries. Check this thread and see if you have that file anywhere. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article...=6658-WYPA-2040 *Just ran keyword searches of "Invalid Path" over there. Might put you on the right track, Also, see: Un-installing Steam: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article...=9609-OBMP-2526 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro23 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 No luck? Anything leftover in the registry? Sorry, I can't be of more help. Maybe someone who uses steam will see this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
