Thanks for you assistance. However, I looked through the various links at
the bottom of your link looking for a fix. I did adjust the automatic updater
but after attempting to start a game I play it crashed with the following
event log:

I hope we can sort this since the frustration is way over the top at this
point. I've been plagued with these problems for past 2 weeks. I've replaced
my MB twice thinking it was a hardware problem and reformatted my hard drive
3 times with clean installs of Win XP.
Thanks for your help!!
