I got that to work, but I am still having the error
It happens every time I try to play my full-screen game.:
EventType : InPageError P1 : c0000185 P2 : 00000003
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERf39b.dir00\explorer.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERf39b.dir00\appcompat.txt"Nate"
What game? Is it designed to be played on WinXP? No one can help
if you don't provide at least a modicum of information.

The "InPageError" generally means that The referenced files cannot be
accessed. If the Chkdsk didn't repair those particular files, try
reinstalling the game.
I can see one major source of your problems, however, based upon the
file paths listed above: It would seem that you're running the computer
using the built-in Administrator account for daily use. This is very
unwise, from both technical and security points of view. The built-in
Administrator account really was never intended to be used for
day-to-day normal use. The standard security practice is to rename the
account, set a strong password on it, and use it only to create another
account for regular use, reserving the Administrator account as a "back
door" in case something corrupts your regular account(s). The major
danger of always running the computer with administrative privileges is
that any malware that gets in under the Administrator account also has
full administrative privileges to the machine, allowing it to penetrate
much more deeply into system files, the registry, and, of course, any
personal data.
A wiser and safer course of action would be to create another user
account for your daily use, and copy desired the files and settings from
the Administrator account to this newly created user profile.
