Hi Guys,

As the title says, I cannot access steam.

What can I do :confused:

How long is a piece of string?

What part loads and what doesn't?

Just the entire application, can't get into it. Just randomly doing this today

Was trying to avoid that!, think I sorted it. Task manager and processes, stopped something steam in there and tried again and steam updated :rolleyes:

Check the task manager to see if there is a steam process there. If so kill it and try again.

If not I second flibbys plan of action

.

Edit - Bah you got your post in just before me!

Yep, that happens to me from time to time! You'll know for when it happens again now

I will indeed, although once I got in I looked at my game list and didn't really fancy anything

steam has been up and down last few days, for me anyway, there s a downtime thread in the forums.
