XP FreeCell Crashes Sysem

[Guest]

My Dad is 85 years old, and he lives to play FreeCell. I had a friend
recently build him a computer with 1GB RAM and XP.

Virtually every time he plays FreeCell, but ONLY when he plays FreeCell, the
system shuts down and goes to a black screen. He can then reboot, but of
course has lost everything that was open at the time of the crash.

Does anyone know of an existing XP or FreeCell problem that would cause this?

For my Dad's sake, please respond soonest - he's not getting any younger.

Hi SATX Bass Player,

Might be that one of the programs your Dad has running on his
new PC before he launches FreeCell is conflicting with the game.

Boot up the PC and then launch FreeCell before anything else.
