wasnt sure if this was an appropriate forum for steam questions but im starting to get angry. i clicked on Gary's Mod to start it up but instead of the game screen i was brought to the steam page to purchase the mod. I went to my steam games page and found that under the status column instead of 100% it says "Pre-load complete". it says this for all of my games except perfect dark:source (my other games are Half life 2, Half life 2:deathmatch, Half life 2:lost coast, counter strike:source and like i said there is also Gary's Mod). Also Source SDK and Source Base are completely gone from the tools list. what the heck is going on! help me please
 
how do you do that. sorry i am an idiot when it comes to computers but hey im learning. thanks
 
Right-click your Steam icon, located in your system tray. Choose 'Exit'. Then start up Steam from your programs list.
 
hey that fixed it! thanks man i was so worried i was gonna have to pay again for the games i got off of steam. thanks a lot :)
 
You didn't know how to restart the program?

Oh dear. Please, step away from your computer, and never return.
 
i did not know that the program stays on. natural thinking leads you to believe that when you press the X that the program closes. i completely forgot that you have to exit out of it in the system tray. anyway thanks again for the help joule

Stop being horrible. Just because he didnt know how to restart Steam doesn't mean he has to 'step away from his computer and never return.'

There are somethings I don't know how to use on the computer, SHOULD I step away from it and never return?
