    ok. i obviously got f**ked over because i made another account and it works fine, to bad HL2/CSS/DODS and EVERYTHING else is stuck on the other one, i need some help in figuring out how i can transfer HL2 to my new account. and i have tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it onto my account but it says that the CD key is already in use. any help? thanks.

    pretty sure you can't move the games over to a different account. you can only use it on one.

    You can move your games to a different account but it requires being logged in as the owning account, unregistering the CD key of the game you want to sell/transfer, and loading that CD key in your new account. You really ought to call Valve to see what the problem is with your account, if it's locked then they probably have a reason for it.

    I messed my steam account up once (got it sorted eventually), it was a nightmare. I couldn't remember my 'secret question' so emailed steam for help. They said they could help if I answered my secret question! I can understand they want to protect their game but the system they use is crap, so much so that I will have to think twich before buying anything else 'steam'. If I buy a game I want to play it not wait three weeks until steam say I can. They had my CD key and email address, surly that's all they need.
