I downloaded the steam installer and entered my Half Life 2 CD Key, which it liked, so I downloaded CS and HL.

I then tried to play CS and it gets to the Precaching Point and doesn't do anything.

So, I cancelled the connection and tried rebooting and started again. It still didn't work, so I gave up.

I just tried again and decided to explore Steam, and saw there is a monitor page, which is telling me CS Stuff is downloading. Does this mean I need to have downloaded all the CS stuff before i can play?
