I want to uninstall Steam then install it again to try to fix errors that I am having in COD Black Ops.

But in doing this, will I lose all of my progress in the campaign levels and online?

What you are trying to do will not fix your problem.

Start at the beginning. What errors?

When I play online the game often crashes and an error message comes up then it says 'BlackOpsMP.exe is not responding'. I'm lucky if I can play a whole ten minute game without this happening. I read >here< that if you reinstall Steam it may fix the problem.

it wont help.

just delete client registry.blob and steam.dll in the steam the folder. Then relaunch steam

Will this have any effect on my game progress?

That is an EXTREMELY common problem, just look at the Steam Forums, they're getting hammered with people with that problem, there is no solution.

I'm in a clan with ~50 people playing BO and approximately %70 of them are getting this problem, even a lad with a 980X and 2 GTX 580's.

Rumours going around suggest a patch coming out on tomorrow that will fix these issues and provide Server owners more "mod" tools.
 
I take it you have verified the integrity of the games cache?

Yes. I have also updated my nVidia drivers and updated my DirectX.

Ok good, well let's hope Steam get their arses into gear and sort the problem out. I'm glad that it isn't a failure of my PC.

Thank you all for your help and quick replies. :)

Nope. Steam doesn't effect how well your cod games runs.
