Steam is good stuff, dont bash it
As for your problem, I honestly havent a clue. Check out steam's forums. I once had a problem with steam and with 5 mins of research/using the search button on steam's forums I had a working solution, that worked for both my friend and I (we had the same problem)

I wasn't bashing it but I just don't like it. If you like it ok that's fine but I don't like it.Comment

For me it just loaded really slowly and said it froze when I ctrl + alt + etc."What we have to accomplish at this time is all the more clear: relentless criticism of all existing conditions, relentless in the sense that the criticism is not afraid of its findings and just as little afraid of the conflict with the powers that be."

Ok, I've said this a million times, and I'll say it again.
When installing steam, do NOT use the steaminstall.exe file that makes you download counterstrike after you install steam by itself.
Find steaminstall_cs.exe on fireplanet or whatever, and use that. Its a 379MB download, and installs steam AND CS automatically.
Almost every single person I know who has used steaminstall.exe had problems, including myself. Yet everyone I know who used steaminstall_cs.exe had NO problems.
Thats my reccomendation.
Also, most Steam problems can be solved by going to settings, logging out completely, and then logging back in.
Steam has a few little glitches, but they've been improving it pretty steadily and the bugs are dissapearing slowly but surely.

Also alot of problems can be solved by going into C:\Program Files\Steam and deleating clientregistry.blob, but I think you loose all your saved settings. Idunno, thats what worked for me.
I also used the steaminstall_cs.exeComment
