liamdawe Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Ah i shouldn't do that, i have no point which i know to use or anything, any other way you can suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 You could try scanning for viruses, trojans and other bad things. It could also be a program or service interrupting the game or simply an unnoticed key press. Do the games play at all? Does the screen go black then the program minimizes?

liamdawe Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 The games load, screen goes black, flickers, then minimizes and i have an up-to-date virus checker and all that :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I sounds like the games can't enter the correct resolution to play. Try following the steps on the link below. I know its says its only for a certain game but it may solve your problem.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242902 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
