Oh so far all the problems I have had with steam are...
Double clicked on installer did the set up information (giving it one of my 5 or 6 e-mail addresses) then clicked on next, told it to take form the existing files and then it just sat there saying it was updating something. I let that go for like 3 or so hours.
I used Task manager to close down steam seeing as how it didn't want to close down itself.
Then I turned steam on again. It took over 2 to 3 minutes for it to come up but it finally did. Then it said it was updating something else and that actually went pretty quick.
Then when the screen for it came up, I clicked on games, then clicked on the game I wanted. Seeing that nothing came up, I right clicked on it and hit launch, it said it had to load Ricochet which was 25 meg. (ok so if it had to load it, what the hell was it doing for 3 hours?)
So I loaded Ricochet and TFC up which also loaded up the original half-life. Now Ricochet, TFC and Half-Life are lit up.
I launched Ricochet again.... and it does nothing but sit there.
I said it once, I will say it again... STEAM IS A PIECE OF CRAP!
