Steam Window won't appear on screen
So when I click the Steam Icon, it appears on the bottom of the screen bot won't appear on the screen itself. I restarted the computer and the same problem occurred; I also used my task manager to end the Steamexe32 and when I restarted Steam, it just showed the ad but not the window itself. Can anyone help me?

Try to "active" the Steam windows then press on Windows + Shift + Left/right arrow

It may be its hiding on a "second" screen or something

Also what OS are you on?

Windows 7 and I am not sure what you mean by those instructions

Tried and still nothing; when I put my curser over it, it appears in a small screen but still won't appear in full size

I think what happen (happen to me a few times before)
Windows moved your app these time Steam to a second screen
That may not exist as so:

So you need to get the window back to your screen

In the end I had to reinstall Steam because nothing worked; Thank you though and I hope it doesn't happen again
