'Out of Timing'

[Grumpy Mother of computer lovers...]

My son keeps crashing my computer with Age of M. Screen goes black and
message reads, 'Out of Timing' he then turns the computer off and starts
again..grrr. Can I stop this?

Have he and his brother and father knackered my computer by saving too many
games...? Or, please, no, do I need a new gadget?
Help, and thanks,

Age of M? I`m not a gamer and this is really a Windows Defender Anti spyware
Discussion group. All I can say is that games often change your monitor
settings and this could be the case with an `Out of Timing` message. I
believe, but am not sure, this may have some thing to do with the refresh
rate of your monitor rather than your Operating System. Are you using Windows
XP?

I agree. I did Google for this and found a suggestion that related to
looking into video drivers or the like. A far better answer might be found
in a forum related to the Microsoft Age of Empires game.
