I get the same thing Mad, Steam closes itself and disapears from the list of programs currently running. Not fussed why though and I have no fix, just wanted to let you know.

it's a she...and she's Flemmish Bond...alternate courses of headers & stretchers :narnar:

btw...I think my Steam has been doing this lately....I thought it was my memory going so I'm relieved to find it's good ol' Steam again

Whenever i close steam it seems to uninstall the latest updates to it and so i have to re-download the newer version everythime i want to open steam.  :blink:

Lucky that no 1 actually plays CZ when i'm around anymore so it doesn't pose much of a problem. I still think you should make CZ night a different night though. :P

There is a bug in windows were icons from the system tray never appear.

restarting the 'explorer' process seams to bring them back for me, more often than not.

CTRL+ALT+Del and end the 'explorer' process; then
File -> New task -> 'explorer '

Maybe this is totaly irelevent, but though it worth a mention if it wasn't already.
