Steam and Morrowind

Is anyone else getting terrible lag/crashes and bugs using the Steam Version of Morrowind?
I used to own the old GOTY copy for PC but an old friend borrowed it and moved. So I just recently purchased the Steam version and its extremely buggy, crashing more time than I can count.
