In game browser disappears constantly

[defau1t]

Hello,

Since a recent update (a week ago?), I've been unable to keep the web browser open for more then a few seconds, or as soon as I start moving the mouse around on the web page. This happens for multiple games (tried css, l4d2, etc). I reinstalled steam and video drivers and it still happens

I open a web page, start moving my mouse around. It will disappear, then come right back then disappear completely so I have to re-shift tab.

It's even hard to close the browser window because once I start moving my mouse to go the the X to close, it disappears on me.

I looked at the in game log and it has tons of these:

As you can tell thats all within 10 seconds of me trying to close the browser window


Anyone have any ideas? Google and searching this forum comes up with nothing. Like I said, I reinstalled steam, video drivers, and tried in multiple (verified) games...


Thanks

thought i'd try a bump... thx

FYI with today's steam update and CSS/L4D2 updates, it still does it. It makes the browser more than useless. Happens in borderlands as well.

I have made 0 changes to my system.. no new programs etc. The update before this last one definitely caused it. There has to be a reason why it is going nuts like that.

Guess i can just uninstall/reinstall everything..

A complete reinstall of steam/games/etc proved worthless. Still happens.

I re read my thread and I should mention that if I sit there with a webpage open it is fine. If I move the mouse or the page is loading, it goes psycho and starts flashing then disappears.

I have a same problem like you. Do you have any solution now? Thanks

You can start with this...

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9394-YOFV-0014

then, if that doesn't work, continue with this...

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9828-SFLZ-9289

and if that doesn't work either, try contacting Steam Support (https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php)!

What graphics card and processor do you have? If they are too old the steam in game ui might be too much for 'em.

Thanks to all, still not good, I will try to fix it.
My system:
Acer Aspire One 722
AMD C-50
Radeon HD 6250
Win 7 64

[opvedy]

I tried everything, but without success :(

[defau1t]

Just saw you bumped my thread opvedy. Never found a solution after reinstalling steam, all games, vid drivers, etc. :(

pokedex: i've got a 460gtx and an E6750 on Win7-64... more than enough to run the above games. It definitely happened after an update, it was fine before. Doubt it is hardware related.


edit: and dont run any software on the known conflict list

Today's big update seemed to fix the issue, valve must have found and fixed the bug!

[opvedy]

For me not good :mad:. Still same problem :(

I'm having this issue as well. Might be NOD32, but I don't understand why, it worked flawlessly even though my PC is crap.
Pentium D @ 3.4 Ghz
1.5 GB RAM

I just want facebook when I'm waiting for the next round on CSS.
