Installing Steam Service
Hello, i need your help :)

Every time i want to play some game (but not all) i have this message :
Installing Steam Service
In order to run Steam properly on this version of Windows, the Steam service component must be installed. The service installation process requires administror privileges.

When I try to install, it's saying me that there where a problem and windows try to find a solution. But nothing happen.
