wine users - Jun 2011 - Steam in wine

I am running Kubuntu 10.04 and running wine 1.2.2.  I got Steam today, and it
loads fine.  But when I click on any page other than the one it opens with
(right now it's about Black Ops), the whole thing crashes.  I can open it
again, and the same thing happens.  I can even install games from my library,
but I can't go to the store or anything.  I don't get an error message
either.  Any ideas?

I didn't use Steam for a while now, but you should try to update wine to the
latest release.

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!

Install corefonts packages with winetricks, see bug #22751.

Wow, that worked wonderfully.  Thanks to all you guys for the help!
