Posted January 25, 2014 I'll cut right to the chase: Whenever I click on my 'Library' tab in Steam, Steam outright crashes on me. IF I'm lucky enough to get into the 'Library' tab, it'll either 1) crash after a few seconds or 2) Crash when I click on a game or scroll through my games. No idea what could be causing this. I have tried the simple "uninstall then reinstall" Steam, but that didn't do anything. Any ideas on what's going on?

Posted January 25, 2014 Hey @TopWargamer You tried reinstalling steam? As @Kamina said, could be registry issues. You could try uninstalling Steam then typing in windows taskbar Regedit and then locating the steam registry files and removing them. Then try installing it, again. It should then see steam as a fresh install on the system so will need to verify log in details etc, when you log in.

Posted January 25, 2014 Any idea where in the registry Steam's registry files would be? When you type "Regedit" into task bar. under the root directory of "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". Expand the "Software" branch, and scroll down until you find the folder named "Valve". That is the registry folder for steam.
