go in your steam folder -> delete ClientRegistry.blob, Steam.dll and SteamUI.dll.
Be sure to exit steam first.
Then open steam, it will run an update, and that's it. I had this problem 2 years ago.

Just turned it off, deleted those files you wrote, updated and started steam, nothing...

I have had the same problem for years, and I can't count how many angry swearing mails I've sent them...The Steam Support is a fucking piece of bleeding crap imo, everything they do is making some sucky automatic bots link some steps for you follow, even though it's the most basic things ever and it's probably the first thing you tried.

I ended up fixing it myself by updating my NIC-drivers with some special tweaked one, but I unfortunately don't remember the name of it. I'll hook you up with it if i find out :)
