Too all of those with Steam Games problems

After downloading the new update for CS:S through steam, I wasnt able to start a new map without the game crashing and resulting in windows asking me if I want to send a report. After doing a little snooping around in the Steam forums, I discovered that one of the things that affect steam and steam games is file download manager. Upon closing it, I was actually able to to start a map again! I dont know how are they both related, but somehow they are. So try exiting any Download managing softwares and restart steam.

There is an excellent steam diagnostic tool that tells you everything you need to know.

hope this helps

 

luckily i havent had any problems with steam as yet apart from a error of some kind yesterday when i started up but then again i dont use any download managers etc

 

yes, i have a lot of problems here, after 2 minutes on dust or any map css freezes. I just installed the new catalyst drivers following the directions, but i dont see the catalyst control center. Do i have to boot it some how?
