my cousin put steam on his computer and he has a cd-key registerd to his username but there are no games in his playgames so he cant play i have posted in other fourum but had no luck so hopfully some one here will know what to do. the only games that he can play are dedicated server and codename but they are both free and he has a registerd key for counterstike that he has played on steam before a while ago but when he installed steam on his new computer he cant play cs it doesnt show up at all and we have checked that the cd-key is registerd to his screen name so if any one can help

how did you check that the key is registered to that name?

Only way to do that would be to e-mail Valve

are you sure he didn't just make a new account when he reinstalled steam instead of logging into his orginal one.

Or was he banned by VAC maybe?

we know because he forgot his username so we used the retrive lost account name and typed in the cd-key and th4ey sent an email to the account that the cd-key was registerd to with the username and password so he checked his email and got his usernaem so the cd-key is definatly registerd to his name and we have tried reinstslling steam at least 8 times even the steam with full cached files

post to steam, but you can try logging out and logging back in if the game doesn't show highlighted, double click on it and it should download, if it doesn't, post to steam
