| 116281 | 2003-01-24 07:34:00 | Have you upgraded your graphics card to run these games? I had the same problem after upgrading because the card 'driver' was not compatible with XP. Got tired of it so uninstalled the card & its driver & am now on the hunt for another. | Pete515 (3064) | ||
| 116282 | 2003-01-24 07:38:00 | I would try the obvious first, such as defrag the drive, run AdAware (a free download from Lavasoft, just search it on Google) to purge any adware gremlins. From your post I assume nothing has changed since you got the games, and they used to run? Check what else is running in the background that you are not aware of, and that could be using up resources. Go Start Run - msconfig That will give you a list of all running processes. |
