I cannot play games

1.
Have you allowed access to counterstrike via your windows firewall?

D:\Steam\steamapps\username\counter-strike source\hl2.exe

2.
And also Try deleting both the game.cfg and server.cfg ( back it up )

D:\Steam\steamapps\username\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg
 
Could try a diagnostic startup (nothing but essential/ms services)
DXdiag might also be helpful

What account type did you use to install/set everything up (standard/admin) and which you using to run it all

I've known 7 to be pretty tempermental with some games when it comes to privilages required to change files etc which with the likes of steam is more or less everything
 
Load up 3DMark and see what kind of performance you're getting when you run it. This would give your system a good workout without involving Steam. At least that way you know what to focus on, Steam or your Windows install.
 
Have you tried any hard drive diagnostics? Possibly try running the games off a different drive? I had a similar problem and it ended up being a b0rked hard drive..
 
I had a problem no too different to this on a fresh windows 7 machine , I installed the Direct X sdk which filled in the missing files that the games needed .
Im unsure exactly of the link for it as that was done on a different machine .
Hope this helps ;) .

Thankyou

Tried on two hard drives in the same system, one was the SSD the other was HDD, same problem. :(

If anyone has the link which Tim suggests then I could try that, or if anyone else knows what the problem may be let me know please. :D <3
 
not watched video, but off the top of my head: (probably isnt same issue but i saw "didnt work" so :P)

what internet provider you with?

i could never play steam games at home 'cus of an issue with BE*, after some reading up on it.
 
Virgin 50mb, don't think it is internet server based though, seems like it is something with my PC, or with Steam.
