No, that isn't how Steam works. Might want to check up on that.

You will not be able to play Race07 Viva Media Retail unless you provide an unclaimed CD-Key. To provide an unclaimed CD-Key, you will need a copy of Race07 Viva Media Retail which has not already been registered on Steam.

Some how I don't have a clue

Some how I don't have a clueIt's really simple. If it's correct you have created a steam-account and registered the game on that account. Log-in that same account and you can play the game.

The CD-Key is linked to your Steam account, not your hardware. You can have RACE 07 installed on as many PCs as you wish as long as you don't try to run it on-line from 2 PCs at the same time.

If you don't understand how Steam works then its far better to post politely asking what happens when you change PC rather than posting as you did and making yourself look like a complete idiot.

OK, guys, I'm not up to speed on how you would install RACE07 if you had originally purchased it from STEAM online.

It was my understanding that if you bought RACE07 online, it would be downloaded online and you'd have it on whatever pc did that work. So if you then popped for a hot new pc and wanted to log-in, you'd have a pc with nothing loaded to do that login.

Are you guys saying that a brand new pc could be used to log in to STEAM, and then be able to download another copy of RACE07 to give that pc the capability of running the sim?

I've installed from a CD and it gave me an offline install when I did that option, and an entirely separate STEAM with RACE07 install when I did the online install option. I assume that without some means of installing STEAM/RACE07 like a CD, then there is nothing in a new pc that could have RACE07 or STEAM in order to log in to STEAM.

The guy sounds to me like he has a point. And nobody has addressed completely how to do it otherwise.

Play your games on any PC: Once you have a Steam account, you can sign in from any PC and access your games. Your games are associated with your account, not your computer.

OK people, lighten up and read his problem again. And be smarter about it than he was, and look for the problem, not something to piss about.

I've got STEAM/RACE07 on one of my pc's. It's not on the other one.

So I follow the brilliant advice I've read so far to see if I can play RACE07 on the pc that doesn't have anything loaded.

I go to the STEAMpowered website and there is no place to log in on their welcome page.

So I go to the game pages to find where I should be able to log in to play. No log in that I could find. I did a search to find out where a login is available from that location. Since the pc has nothing loaded on it that has to do with STEAM or RACE07, I'm fairly certain the only direct connection to STEAM is going to be through the only address anyone is going to have on a brandnew pc, and that's right there at the website.

One thing I did find was a paragraph that say I can use my Steam account on other computers. It says I can do if after I log in on that computer. No instructions how to do that of course.

OK................. While in the SUPPORT area reading the FAQs, I noticed the there were two tabs in the upper right of the screen. One was LOGIN.

When I clicked on it I got a screen that provides a login and explains that you can download etc. The guy has his answer.

You guys need to get a grip. You sound like what you accuse him of.

If you bought from Steam, the game is registered on your account. (I have 3 different computers with Half-Life 2 on for example.)

If you have the CD version, just install that, or register the CD-Key to your Steam account. Jobs done.

But no, far easier to post some asinine crap saying the game sucks.

blooze2,
If you go to http:\\www.steampowered.com and then click on the SUPPORT button, and then click on one of the support topics, there will be a tab in the upper right of the screen that comes up. The tab is a login tab. It will expalin that when you login on your existing account, you will be able to download existing games.

Next time, just ask for the help you want. You're more apt to get it that way.

[darock]

OK, blooze2, I found a slightly shorter way to login to do that download.

When you are in the steampowered website, if you click the support button on their front pages it takes you to the support home page.

If you look closely, about 3 boxes into the page (there is a black header box, a grey language box, a black announcement box and then... a dark gray box with one line in it)
there is one sentence by itself that says,

"Please log in or register to use all of the Steam Support Center's features"

click on the underlined "log in or register"

Umm... you install STEAM and download through that. That's sort of how the whole system works.

Ummm.... read the later posts. It looks like the whole system can do this:

Hey Blooze2, funny when you look and see someone has just joined this fairly liberal and open minded forum and then notice they have posted twice with the above included. seriously mafrien', do you want to give the whole world the wrong impression of yourself all your life. As others have stated, just take a deep breath and ask politely - i'm sure there's plenty of people around and in here that would go out their way to help you. I would assume after all, that's why you're in this forum - because you love Sim racin', not flamin' n' bitchin'...
It's nice to be nice mafrien' - it's free.
