I have had to reinstall the Steam+HL/CS package at least 5 times already

it crashes, then on next load takes several minutes to pop up
it may take several attempts at killing it via task manager and retrying to get it open
after it finally shows its ugly face, it acts as if Half Life and Counter Strike are not installed (they were there the last time I ran Steam)
then after I tell it to install them it does nothing for a minute or so and then gives me that error message followed by several more errors like the ones gaforces posted above

reply to Mr_Stealth
when it does work it kills my pings
and not just in CS
I was pinging 300ms+ to my ISP's gateway, this is normally a 7-9ms ping...shut down the Steam POS and pings went back to normal

it also causes my ICQ connection to drop
normally happens while I am in a game

please, Valve, just give me back CS 1.5
