Vista Games error Question

[Joe727]

Hi - I keep getting this error when I try to open the Vista games such as
Spider Solitaire.

Question: Anyone know what the fix is?

Thanks

I don't get that error, but half of my games show nothing but a black window
when I launch them!

Did you file the bug report?

It crashes - I get a BSOD which reboots the computer.

Here are screen shots of the error - there are two screenshots because you
can't expand the error window to show all the information at once:

After rebooting, I got a pop-up dialog box asking me if I wanted to find a
solution. I clicked Yes/Ok and never saw it again.

Here's some additional info:

error code information)
Solution available? No (see Next steps)
What does this error mean? Windows has encountered an error from which it
cannot recover and needs to restart
Cause: Unknown device driver
Computer symptoms: A message appears on a blue screen with error code
information (for example: e.g. 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Additional steps: Important: Please continue to send error reports so
analysts at Microsoft can study and try to correct the problem as quickly as
possible

I had some of these errors in an earlier build of Vista and they went away
after a re-install of the operating system.

There does often seem to be a problem with getting everything installed
correctly, but after all this is a beta. You might try reinstalling Vista
and then check if the games run OK before installing any other software.

I am not sure if you are responding to my posts or the fellow who hijacked
it.
