I started up Steam again for the first time in about a week or two (on the 1st of Dec.) and then it gave a compatibility warning completely out of the blue. I'm wondering if a Steam update must've changed something. I did some research real fast and turned up <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722422(WS.10).aspx" rel="nofollow">this link</a> on MSDN. It's definitely a Steam issue, but I find it odd that it'd start well after installation... (I clicked "cancel" on the elevation dialog to ignore future messages and Steam still seems to work fine. This was just flat out strange. Now, if only there were a fix to stop Steam from constantly stealing focus!) I take back what I said in an earlier post.

I did restore backups of my games this time around and it might've had a hand in the problem. What was strange is I could click out of the error window and use Steam just fine. It was more of a nuisance than anything else. It was odd to say the least. I did restore backups of my games this time around and it might’ve had a hand in the problem.

Any idea what caused it? I vaguely recall having an odd issue with my installation of Steam (it crashed, IIRC) but then it disappeared after an update. That’s weird. Any idea what caused it?
