Steam Installs, updates, loads, login - crash

[plasmamist]

I am trying to run Valve's "Steam" application, but am currently having some issues.

The installer works fine and subsequently, the updater updates correctly. But, after I login, the application starts, the advertisement screen opens, freezes, and crashes.

What can I do?

Here is my terminal output:

fixme:shdocvw:InPlaceActiveObject_TranslateAcceler ator (0x1b9410)->(0x32c894)
fixme:dbghelp:dump_system_info fill in CPU vendorID and feature set

If you want the rest of the terminal output, let me know.

Thanks!

Awww, vome on 44 views and no replies?! :)

Even if its just to commiserate - maybe point me in some direction?

If you have other things installed on the same prefix (if you don't know what a prefix is, replace "on the same prefix" with "on wine"), this may be a problem. Delete your prefix (~/.wine) and try again. But know that this will erase all your wine applications.

What version of WINE are you using ?

You gotta make sure all the necessary components are needed for steam to run. check out the following link:
