Whenever I try to start a demo, it just takes me back to the games page (where you download the demo/buy the game from), any tips?

running on windows 7, and I know my pc is good enough to play the games im trying to play. Thanks :)

You guys didn't even read his post.

Anyways OP, yeah it does, on the games page on the left side there's a light gray button that says "Download Demo" it's close to the add to wishlist button.

[QUOTE="Bjorkfund"]Try to verify integrity of game cache firefluff3

Im a noob for tech stuff, so how would I do that and what does it mean?

1. Go into your library 2. Right click on the game (demo) you wanna play 3. Choose "properties" 4. In the window opening, youll see 3 tabs, choose the one named "local files" 5. Press "Verify integrity of game cache" Just let it run, if there's a problem there, it'll be fixed :) Saved me a lot of trouble through the time.
