I just bought Half-Life 2:Game of the Year edition. I installed everything that came with it, including Steam. Now, my problem is that whenever I try to log in to my (newly created) account, the application (Steam) freezes!(As in, when I open task manager it says"not responding") I do not understand why. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and just so you know, I have no familiarity with Steam.
I read about a glitch here yesterday. Right-click the steam icon and choose settings. Then, look in the settings for a button with XP SP2 compatibility and make sure this is checked. In case it is, take the check away and see what it does.
What I mean is, when it says "Connecting User account: Username", the app freezes. So, as a result, I can't even log in. I have to go into task manager and close the program that way. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but I always get the same result.
I have steam and I hate it aswell... if only x-fire bought out steam .......
Anyway usually whenever I try to open steam either nothing happens at all and I have to go into task manager and end the process and then try again. Or i get what happens to you, it just completely freezes up. Another complaint is whenever I am in-game usually counterstrike:source I cant join a load of games so I have to close down cs:s and join a game from steam not in-game.

Grrrr damn steam muppet1010
Is there anything that you could recommend? I need to log onto Steam so that I can register my damn game and actually play it. I have tried logging on 50 times (literally), and every time it freezes up. I can't return the game now, since I opened it.....damn Steam.
