Alright, so I've seen a bunch of videos about people having fun playing Steam games, so I decided to try it for myself. I downloaded it to my desktop where it didn't work. So I decide to delete it and try again. Nothing. Okay, so I click the handy dandy 'uninstall' application. It proceeds to delete everything on my desktop, including the next chapter of 'Family Reunion' and the first chapter of 'Monster of Canterlot High'. If I weren't so pragmatic, I would be throwing things.
Ah, that sucks. Did you download Steam into a folder, or just to the desktop?
Might just be you. I've never had that.
I have no idea how you managed that. What you download should be an installer, and it should install to its own folder on your hard drive. That folder should be all that gets deleted when you uninstall it.
.......
Wut.
steam is full of bots and one of the easiest way's to get hacked I can not tell you the number of times I have worked on PC's for different people that are having major problems and it most always comes down to steam, not always and do not bother trying to blast me you steam lovers as I am the one stuck fixing the viruses and killing all the spy ware and bots.
to put it simple steam keeps cash in my pocket and me working thanks steam.
That is why I have gaming desktop work and such laptop
3864411 Just to the desktop, which I guess was my mistake
3864993 Yeah.
If you are talking about the steam game client, I have no problems with it, got over 100 games and I can play all of them. I just installed it onto its own 750gb internal hd.
3867257 which ever one was on the main page
3864966 well you must suck at your job XD mainly because you know nothing about software. "Steam is full of bots" no shit, bot accounts but they don't give you viruses. Second everything on steam goes through their and your firewalls. The only way you can get a virus from steam is if you follow a link from a chat.
3868589 make sure you actually downloaded it from store.steampowered.com I think steam.com is a virus site that tries to get people who don't know the difference.
