Just like the title says, I open steam and my computer thinks about it then no windows open. When I open the Windows Task Manager it is telling me that Steam is running, but I can't find the application or any windows.

This sucks, I've already tried reinstalling and updating steam, but once the updates are done no windows open. There is also no steam icon in my taskbar.

HELP! I want to play and merk steve!

edit: in the task manager, it shows steam.exe as a process, but no application

nevermind, i just did the following steps and they worked!

1) Download Hijackthis .
2) Extract it to youre local drive , and run it. (You must close all youre browsers => copy the tutorial to notepad.)
3) Do a system scan with Hijackthis and save logfile then wait untill it finish.
4) After the scan finishing CHECK ALL the things from the list.
5) Then press on Fix checked then you must reboot!
6) Download FixWareOut
7) Save it where you want: run it > do next > then install it.
Cool Then make sure that "Run fixit" is checked > then click finish.
9) You will be asked if to do reboot please press yes.
It will take more time to reboot then usually dont worry be patient just wait.
10) HijackThis may launch please close it and press ok to proceed.
11) At the end you may need to restart your computer again please restart it again.

Note: Be sure you havnt installed Windows Theme Editors like: Tuneup WinStyler Theme Service

Or you could do what I do, and end the steam process, wait about 5 minutes and try it again.

i did that about 10 bazillion times and reinstalled steam 4 times. This is what the steampowered forums said would possibly work.
