Vista shuts down my games whenver I play them.

Every time I play my games off of steam Windows vista shuts down there .exe due to a program it has, It then informed me of this program and how to place steam games on a do not turn off list so i did this and yet it still shuts their .exe down whenever I play them. If Anyone could help I greatly appreciate it seeing as I just bought this computer for gaming.

Go Start/All Programs/Steam. Make sure that steam, and for each of your steam games, 'run as administrator' is checked in the properties dialog box.
