Game or games? Are you saying any game you attempt to install through Steam won't install?

Is you account in good standing?

You may want to check out the support section - Steam Support

no problems with steam
only problem is i cant install games that are using steam

I must say, that I have about 10 games purchased at steam, and NONE of them starts through the steam software, all of my games had to be manually started and some have even required that I deleted some directories and stuff like that to work.

I don't know yet if its' because it's incompatible with x64 or something other is wrong.

i have found the problem
it was my anti-virus (avira)
after uninstalling that, i coeld install the games with no problem
and all the time i thought it was the 64bit -___-'

i wanna thank the people that did try to help me :)

It's not a compatibility issue. It's something with your machine sorry to say. Steam is very compatible with Windows 7 x64.



Edit: I see you got it sorted. Happy to hear it.

Peace

I doubt it has anything to do with the 64bit OS.

I have about 40 games on Steam and have never had any issues at all installing or playing them under Win7 x64.

There may be another issue.

You are running the current drivers for your GPu correct?
Also, Have you updated Direct X?

Have you done any "tweaks" to Windows?

Everything here is up to date.
However, the system has been online for a long time, i can test by creating a new installation and try to have the steam tested on that one..

ok i found another annoying problem
i cant use RUN like i cant open regedit,msconfig or dxdiag
it doesnt do anything when i hit enter after typing
plz help me once more

Is this a legit copy of Windows 7?

If you have a disk, with the problems you've been having, you might consider a repair install.... Repair Install

yes is legit and i have fixed by creating a new account :/
