Hi Johnboy,

When I try to play Virtual | Pool3, I get a "Fatal Error" message. Any ideas. The most common causes for that problem can be solved with these few steps. If the problem persists after you've tried these, please post back and we'll try some more solutions. Good luck! :-) 1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here: http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php 2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system. 3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties / Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities. 4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a 5. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers: For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a Checklist of Solutions at: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/Video.html -- Cheers, Windows XP MVP Shell / User Jimmy S. http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Game FAQs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=FH;[LN];gms Visit my Zone.com / Gaming Helpsite: http://nibblesnbits.tk or Call / Contact MS Support at: http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...id=sz;en-us;top My advice is donated "AS IS" without warranty; nor do I confer any rights. _________________________________________________________ |
