I've read further postings of people who have ATI video cards have
similar problems with games not starting. :/ So it must be that.
Thanks for your help Bjorn.

The Steam takes a long time to download, but it run at last.
Call Of Duty run out of the box, and i even cold update it with patches.

I think it's a problem with my display settings. Since the prelink
changes, I've tried running the following:
Half-life uplink demo... installs fine... doesn't launch.
Tribes (full game)... installs fine... I hear the sound test and all the
files are installed... then it freezes.
Launch a cs, tfc, hl game off of steam... all of them look like they're
about to load because I get the "preparing to play counter-strike...",
then it dissapears and nothing.
Are you using an nvidia card, or an ati card?
I ran half-life uplink demo in debug mode and there's a tonne of the
following entries (and of course it never launches):
