Steam Crashes Often, Crashes my Games with it.

[Jokey365]

Steam has begun to crash often. Often as in multiple times per day. It does it with every game I play, and when Steam crashes, my game crashes. I've tried reinstalling Steam and checking in other places on the internet. I can not find any solution. Help me.

The way it crashes prevents me from getting those.
It stops responding before Windows just auto-closes it on me.

No, in your steam directory. They aren't deleted when the program is closed, it is pretty much the steamerrorreporter.exe pumped into a txt document. It is in your steam installation parent folder.

I can't change it but it's not locked into Vista.

what's it locked to
because i can fix that

[Jokey365]

My issues still persist after two attempted fixes.
Now both Steam and the game stop responding but closing the game brings Steam back.
Happens with all games.
