Bought the retail version of Mass Effect because Steam is once again crashing my computer and holding my games hostage.
Jan 2012, reinstalled Windows because Steam was crashing my computer.
Nov 2012, reinstalled Windows because Steam was crashing my computer.
Feb 2013, uninstalled Steam because Steam was crashing my computer.
Eventually I'll reinstall Windows for some other reason, and try Steam again. When it works, it's great, but from time to time, Steam has nothing but contempt for my poor, harmless computer. Each time, I've tried various solutions short of reinstalling Windows before the necessary reinstall. This time, I stopped short of reinstalling Windows and am no longer playing Skyrim or Fallout: New Vegas.
