Yes specs would help.

Two things you can try though.

Verifying the files and re-installing it.

To verify files go to the steam My games tab right-click Team Fortress 2 select 'properties', then click 'local files' tab and click 'Verify integrity of game cache...'

It could just be a corruption of its files so give those things a try.

If you cant get it working go to the steam site and submit a question in the technical help section of the site. If you attach an image and stick details of your problem in there too it will help.

Anyway, give that a try and see what they come up with.

Ok I finally figured out why its been acting up. It was the simplest thing that passed me. The server i was going to was going through changes, like updating or what not. Now it is working
