X-fire is notorious for causing problems with Steam. Apparently X-fire is often considered borderline spyware.

You might do best to just delete X-fire altogether.

6. Viruses, spyware and malware, netlimiting, anonymous IP masking programs
Connection problems can also arise if your system is infected with a virus or spyware. Programs like Cybersitter, Netlimiter, X-Fire and Stegnos Anonymous Internet can also interfere with normal Steam operations.

There are many free applications to help remove spyware.

i did uninstall it and it worked fine again. But I was just think that the prog is kinda cool and would like to get it to work. Maybe I will try installing it again to see if it still screws up steam

i must disagree
but im in no way suggesting that i rely only on Ad-aware to keep my system spyware free.
i do not find x-fire to provide spyware or anything of the sort on my pc, and i regurarly run these scanners on my PC with latets definitions. when i get home from school (im home from lunch riht now) i will scan with several scanners. my steam and x-fire combination work perfectly, no problems whatsoever.

you gotta watch what u install along x-fire, sometimes they ask u what u want to install along with it, but i cant remember if xfire did ask. things like MSN Plus do.
