Sorry, not come across that one. You could try stopping steam from task amnager and then restarting it by double clicking steam.exe in your steam folder.

I used to get the same problem a long time ago when steam 1st came out, afaik it had been fixed, but maybe not. Unfortunatly I can't remember how to fix it, I can only guess at deleting the ClientRegistry.blob file & redownloading it. Hope it helps if not come back & we'll try something else.

You were playing today so I think it's solved?

Yea, my steams working fine, its not me thats having the problem is it, give your bro a slap & point him in the direction of his post. I looked all over the steam forums & the help section but I couldnt find anything relating to it. If he still can't get it to work I'd say backup his games using the steam backup utility & uninstall & reinstall steam & start over.

Thats way to long to wait, but now i don not let steam start automaticly, but i start it myself and now it works fine. So do not let it start when i start up my comp.
Thanks for the intel
