I have Xp, 1.2 ghz AMD proc, 712 mb ddr ram, riva tnt2 32mb agp card. I have
a problem with my games freezing on me. Alot of the times the games will
just exit out in the middle of playing. I get a bluescreen with an error so
i have to restart. THis isnt just with one game. All my games are like this.
I do have cacheman to, and riva tuner. But even with it all off my games are
freezing and crashing. Now I did tweak xp from tweaktown.com awhile back
ago. Please help!

You get a blue screen with an error do you? Now how the heck do you suppose
any of us are supposed to assist you when that's all you give us to go on?
We cannot see your computer so, therefore, we haven't a clue what "an error"
may be.

Post back, giving us the full details of that blue screen.

Thank you

Not that I know squat, but I do have a friend who is a
microsoft technician (who I am embarassed to ask all my
super-lame questions to...like the one above) but he once
told me to never use old games on XP, it really is not a
happening compatibility.....for whateverits worth

Well your 'friend' knows nothing - most are perfectly compatible - I can run
7 year old Windows games perfectly happily under XP - I was replaying Broken
Sword 1 only last night.

well im sorry but i cant write down the whole page of the blue screen, thats
besides the point because its not the same exact error each time. And I dont
just get the blue screen, I get critical errors then my game exits, or the
gamer will sometimes just crach, or just freeze, or give me a blue screen.
basically these game are UNSTABLE but I need help on why. My drivers up to
date, im wondering if windows98 will run them better.
 
It could be your video card drivers as NVIDIA and XP do not get alone well.

The latest drivers from NVIDIA will not necessarily be the best so try a
few.
