Certain games lock up machine......

[Dadheart]

I am having game lock-ups and occasionally get rebooted
while playing the Nascar 2003 Season game. I also just
installed a game called "BeJeweled". It too locks up the
machine. When I ran my Norton WinDoctor it told me that
there is a missing program file. It is called
c:\windows\system32\mapisevr.exe. It is saying that the
program cannot access a necessary file
called "gapi32.dll. It says I may need to re-install the
mapisrve.exe. I found the mapisrvr.exe file on my
install disk but how do I re-install it? Any help would
be appreciated.
