I would see if this is a driver problem. Try either upgrading to the
latest video/sound drivers, or maybe even downgrading to an older version
of the drivers.
 
Have you updated the games? Check for compatibililty updates, information
about support under Vista or patches.
 
On the compatibility tab for the actual program in properties
( not the shortcut) click on settings for all users.

select run this program in compatibility mode for
XP SP2, and at the bottom, click "run as administrator.

If it works, try taking off the run as admin button to
avoid having to type the admin password.

I run BF2 and AA:O with no problems.
 
thanks ill try that Curt and to Mick Murphy, i have enough ram, it only needs
256 to run and 512mb reccomended i have 2gb, also i made sure that video card
is in all the way and got the latest drivers.

Download WinDbg from Microsoft, and use that to analyse the memory dump.

Go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/debugstart.mspx

Download "Install Debugging Tools for Windows 32-bit Version", load up
WinDbg and set up the symbol information as described in that document.

Load the minidump from a crash and use the command:

!analyze -v

The result should give you a good idea of what is going on. If that
doesn't show you the way to fix it, try posting the result here.
