You can't remove all the line continuations.  Just the one I mentioned.  It
should look like this:

preprocessor stream5_global: track_tcp yes, \
   track_udp yes,  \
   track_icmp no,  \
   max_tcp 262144, \
   max_udp 131072
#   max_active_responses 2
#   min_response_seconds 5

Send your updated conf, at least the stream5 parts.

The comments (with #) and line continuations (with \) don't mix well.

Remove the ", \" at the end of the line with max_udp and uncomment the
stuff you previously commented (stream5_tcp and stream5_udp).

Looking at your snort.conf file, try putting a space between the '#'

Also you can try commenting out  the preprocessor lines also.****

Look carefully at stream5_global and make sure that there isn't a line
continuation ( '\' ) at the end of those options causing stream5_tcp to
appear as one of them.  stream5_global and stream5_tcp must be separate.
