Yes, anything that ends in .tk is usually a scam - and Valve will never use that domain.

Try exiting Steam, locating the clientregistry.blob located in Steam folder, and deleting that file. Then rerun Steam again.

Not being blocked at all. Im sure it's not a network specific problem, just a conflict with something on my computer. However, when the problem came about i hadn't downloaded, installed or activated anything new, which leads me to believe that its something in one of the latest steam or windows update that made this problem visible.

You said sharing and that can mean only one thing when the terms of use are the way are. Read the EULA for nearly any game, they all read pretty much the same as Steam. There was just no way to enforce it before.

Had the same trouble when up grading to Win7. Only answer I found to work, was to backup local Steam game content. Completely remove Steam, and install the latest version, change the Steam folder security giving my User full access, then reloading backed up game data. I've still got a issue with MW2, where I have to play from the DVD auto play menu.

Support takes 2 -5 days, depending on several factors. Used games have already been registered to an account and the original owner would have to reset the key within certain guidelines.

I have the exact same problem as you do. It started after pre-loading Dragon Age: Origins for me too. My other Steam account, on which I don't have Dragon Age: Origins, loads without a problem though. I have so far been unable to find any solutions for the problem.

Well, I use the nVIDIA 8600gt right now, it is over clocked, and I average around 30-40 fps in L4D and L4D2... but this is at medium - medium high settings. And depending on counter strike source map i can get from 60 - 300. So I don't think your card is ther problem. In the Console in game type "fps_max 300" (without quotes) just to see if you for somereason or somehow had limited your fps to ...
