this happens every time i try to download a game (by steam, or by disk [half life 2]) and i dont know why. It also happens when i run a game, sometimes it happens mid game, other times it happens immediately after i close it. This never happened to me on xp, but i just built a new system w/ vista, so i think that could be part of the problem.
any possible solutions? (i also posted this in the pc games forum, just to be safe)

(i also posted this in the pc games forum, just to be safe) nevermind, i solved the problem, but just incase anyone else has the same one, right click your steam icon and go to properties, then compatibility. Chances are its running in winXP (sp2) compatibility mode like mine was, but its an easy fix, all you do is take it off.)
