Im using wine 0.9.59 i got "Steam" installed successfully, i can download games, and also play online.
But my problem is i can't access the "Store" tab in Steam, it just shows a blank grey page.
Is there a way to fix this?

I have no idea what Steam is but i suggest you start this application through a terminal and then post the output (from the console) when you click the "Store" tab.

Upgrade to a newer version of wine - 0.9.59 broke Steam's webbrowser for me, but 0.9.60 fixed it again!

I think i cannot access http://storefront.steampowered.com I think this is the website where in the "Steam" Client points to as Store.
I switched to my previous Windows XP (with expired license that's why i switched to Ubuntu) disk, still with the same problem, so i just uninstalled "Steam", and try to download the latest version of it, but i can't, I get this error from Internet Explorer "Can't open page" (something like that). I don't have a problem with my internet connection because i can still browse.
I think (http://storefront.steampowered.com) is blocked from my location, i tried a different PC from a "Internet Cafe" or kiosk, but still can't access. By the way i'm from the Philippines (ISP: PLDT myDSL).
I think to fix this problem is just probably wait until i can access (http://storefront.steampowered.com) from Firefox in ubuntu.
Upgrading wine 0.9.59 to rc1.0 probably won't solve the problem, but if wine 1.0 is release i'll probably upgrade.
Thanks for the reply guys.

No, your problem is exactly the problem I had with Wine 0.9.59. Upgrading to 1-rc1 will fix your problem - it did for me, at least (and for me, only 0.9.59 broke it, as well).

I found a Steam Installer "SteamInstall.msi" in my Windows XP hard disk, installed it on Windows XP but still the same problem. I can browse the "Community" tab though.
