FUCK THIS SHIT Anonymous 11/02/11(Wed)13:17 No. 9924

Alright, I need somebody with some amount of tech expertise on this. My copy of TF2 isn't working, and it's choosing not to work in the most aggravating way possible.
When I click the link, I get a weird bell-tolling sound, and the icon for half-life 2, which I don't even own, pops up in the toolbat
(note: I know that the game runs on the hl2 engine and that's why the icon's there, but I've never seen it show up before).
And then I get an error message telling me the game "failed to take master pipe connection lock".
Now, I just deleted some skin mod files, so is it possible I nicked a proverbial artery and deleted an essential file? It doesn't seem likely, since I uninstalled an reinstalled the game. What do I do?

After uninstalling it, exit steam and go into your steamapps folder. The Team Fortress 2 folder will still be there, so delete it. That'll make sure you do a fresh-as-possible reinstall.
Also delete clientregistry.blob in the main steam folder.

If that doesn't fix it, reinstall Steam entirely.
