its steam and its stupid way of doing things. if restarting steam doesnt work then a good reboot should do the trick.

if that doesn't work...

Delete the following files from your steam directory


Steam.dll
SteamUI.dll
ClientRegistry.blob

and restart steam.

That'll fix it. They'll be in your root steam dir. That has been happening since the Steam beta, and they've still never fixed it. - Maybe they got abandoned by their coders too. :p

I'd link ya the related article, but there are so many Steam trouble shooting articles, that the URL's have become too long for the parser:

V. Tiny Url: http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/popup_adp.php?p_sid=5WmmNOhi&p_lva=&p_li=&p_faqid=30&p_created=1092275064&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTIxJnBfcHJvZHM9MCZwX2NhdHM9MCZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9dGlja2V0IGVycm9ycw**
Good example. >< - 345 character URL FTL!

Most of that is garbage they throw in, try this stripped 143 character link:
