Basically the forum title says it all, I am stuck frozen on the TF2 man menu every time I launch TF2.

My Computer:
Compaq Presario CQ56

I have tried:
Defraggng TF2
Validating TF2
Reinstalling TF2
Restarting Steam
Launching TF2 with no launch options/custom files
Updating Windows
Launchng TF2 on High Priority
Restarting Windows
Checking for Driver Updates
Disabling Steam Overlay
Deleting ClientRegistry.blob

Things I Have yet to Try:
Reinstalling Steam

Please, any suggestions are helpful.

Did you update your steam client lately? the most recent update seems to have broken a few things.

Yes I did, however I still need a fix.

You are on a Laptop (Not sure if it's a gaming one) Second did you try waiting for the "Freeze" to stop? My TF2 have "froze" as well, it even shown the HL2.exe have stop working popup but I just click X and wait a bit, it eventually bring me to the main menu

Is 40 minutes a long enough wait? Thanks for the idea though.

this happened to me, i couldn't click any of my main menu options and when i moused over them, they didn't highlight. I think the problem is that tf2 launches then the main menu acts like an overlay but you can't click anything on it. It's really weird, i just alt tabbed and then clicked tf2 on my taskbar to maximize it again and it worked. just try to alt tab

Oh what's that you say?
I know there is a new steam update? Yet the check for steam client updates gives me a lie?

Time to make a copy of my common folder and uninstall steam........
