I know Steam has been having trouble the last week or so, on and off. Just go to the "activate a product on steam" and input the CD key, no need to install from the CD.

Go to steam and download the steam client directly, install it, create an account and then go to the "My Games" tab and choose "activate product on steam"

Glad to hear this worked out for you. You will love the game!

Hey? Where did my picture go? Did I do something against the forum rules?
