Cant play any games!!

[miAlien]

Everytime I play a game it minimizes the window and then I cant bring it back up. When that doesnt happen the game just freezes. Anyone know why this is happening?


System specs:
Amd Athlon 650mhz

creative labs geforce GTS 2
sounb blaster live! value
FIC SD11 motherboard

Try installing some other Nvidia Reference Drivers.

Re-install DirectX8a.

Look in Control Panel/System/Device Manager and see if anything is in yellow highlight.

Check for Viruses with the latest Virus Definitions.

I recently had a problem with games exiting left and right. It turned out it was a virus.

I remember there used to be a lot of compatibility problems w/ athlong boards and nvidia cards... what worked for me was to force AGP 1x.. hope that helps (powerstrip will do this)
