Hi,

Can anyone help me with a question re steam please that is bugging me.

Twice now, in 2 attempts, when I copy .gcf files from my main PC -
steam then gets upset and when I try and run any steam game it gives
me a message along the lines of "you dont have enough disk space to
run the game, please free up some space and try again"

This is a bogus message as I have 376GB of free disk space and the
only way I can clear the error is to reinstall or repair steam
(thankfully no need to download games again)

I copy the .gcf's to my other PC to save on the download, and the
target PC seems to accept them fine and it all works, but on the
source machine, steam seems to get upset and I cant work out how or
why steam could be upset by just copying files.

I do "share" the steam folder to make them avail - so windows does
mess with permissions on the files - think that could be it? but since
I unshare the folder again when done I might expect it to all be OK.

Anyway - my machine is Vista Ult and the target machine is XP Prof

Anything to help my understanding appreciated. Its all working OK - so
no disater, but Im just interested.
Cheers
