[quote name='genfuyung']Id like to get this but for some reason my steam will only display a white

ing screen on the store and community tabs. Anyone have any idea whats going on?[/quote]
I am new to Steam too and I too get that. I didn't feel like searching for FAQ etc so I just load their web page and buy it through there. The games after purchase do show up in the My Games tab of the steam client and install fine.
I've done 3 purchases tehre, x-com, orange box and plants vs. zombies. You shouldn't have any problem purchasing and getting your game, tho I would also like to find a solution for the white screens.
edit: well... I suppose it uses components of IE7. or maybe have IE7 load first before Steam?... anyway, this is what I was doing.
Since I do not use IE7, I didn't really care to search for a solution. On my system, it has a tendency to not connect... I load IE 7, go to tools/options/connection tab and click OK without making changes. close and reopen IE7 and it would be fine.
So, suspecting that it may just use IE components... I open IE, sure enough, issue above. did it and open Steam, page load fine. I think I actually close the steam client while I did this... don't remember
Not sure if this is a good thing, now I get the pop up steam update news
