    Alright, so Steam works completely fine on my dad's computer, but crashes whenever I visit a game's page on my mom's.

    That's about all I can say about the problem. Have tried to figure it out with the FAQ and the Steam Users' Forums, but neither have been much help (having me resort to Yahoo Answers). So I've decided to come back to GiantBomb. Can anyone help me out?

    Friend, you disappoint us! You should've asked here all along, we're your...... family. 
     
    Try all the usual tricks, like running Steam as administrator, or in compatibility mode, and if those don't work, remove and re-install it. 
    Report back when you've done the basic fixes!

    @AhmadMetallic: I ran Steam as an administrator, but I'm not sure how to do so in Compatibility mode.

    Could Flash possibly be causing the problem?
