STEAM issue and question

Onkel Neal · 07-05-12, 10:55 AM

Yo, I have had Steam for a long time, but today when I tried to open it, it tries to update but fails. I uninstalled Steam, redownloaded and installed it. Ta-da! Working. But...

during the install, I tried to put it in the original Steam folder, and it would not proceed, saying it had to be in an empty folder. So I put it in Steam 2. Now, when I view my games library, it wants to install the games again. Aren't they already on the PC in the original folder? How can I tell Steam to stop messin around and find those games??
