Post Steam not working?
So, uh, today I turned on my computer and noticed that the steam icon in the task bar didn't show up. So, I clicked on the desktop icon, yet nothing happened. I uninstalled steam, then tried to reinstall it. It said it was updating. However, I was never prompted to log in or anything. After it updated, I was basically in the same situation I was in before, because it still wouldn't show up in the taskbar. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Open up your task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and close any instances of Steam running, wait for it to completely exit (out of the task manager list). Then try opening it again.

Try restarting your computer, too.

Sell your computer for half price.

Find a belt and roomy closet with a hook or strong beam.

I'll miss you.

There's a list of programs that interfere with Steam. Look through them in case that might be the problem. If not, say so and I'll dig deeper.
