OK, I think that I just updated to the most current version of Wine. I typed "sudo apt-get install wine1.3" into the terminal and it seemed to update. Since then, my games have been running a bit less buggy, but Steam still crashes anytime I click away from the main Steam page. I don't have to use Steam, but as I understand it, the only way to access the console for games like Half-Life 1 is to go through Steam. Any other ideas on making Steam work, or any ideas for getting around having to use it? Thanks for the help so far! Also, sorry if I sound like an idiot. I'm new to Linux and very new to Wine, so forgive me if I don't know what I'm doing. I'm learning! Thanks again!
