My son is running XP home edition (OEM) with most updates. Recently out of
the blue several of his games just close down in the middle of play?
Basically they just automatically shut down with no warning? Can anyone even
begin to give me an idea where to start looking for the problem? He is not
connected to the internet so no downloads , patches or virus can be blamed
but I have no Idea what to begin to look at? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

PS He has abt 3gb of hard drive available and runs 1024 Ram with a 128M ATI
vid card.
 
I have the same problem since a recent ms update, I havnt been able to locate
which update it is but If anyone knows the solution please tell me.
 
Hello Ray
I think your best bet would be to post your problem in the correct group,
Microsoft.public.windowsxp.games. you are using the web interface and I am
reading this in newsgroups. In which case you should perhaps use the web
discussion group for games here

http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...69e-0366-48eb-8b74-13863a637734&lang=en&cr=US

All sorts of games are discussed in there - not just Microsoft ones.
Also, post better system details, make of computer/desktop/notebook/model
GPU/CPU make/Mobo make model.
3gb - is that 'abt' meaning about? Not much to play with - are the games
played on disk or downloaded to 'C' drive - what games are causing the
problems.
The more info the better - then when the thread is read it may relate to
more readers.
Are you getting any errors showing/blank screen - what happens?
A header like 'Different Games shutdown in XP'
I wish you luck - if you get a result, it helps everybody if you post back
in this thread. In any case, I do not monitor 'games groups' but would like
to know what happens.
