Games Exiting Automatically After Game Introduction?
Dec 20, 2002
Mnay gamers are having problems with games especially the game exits after a game Intro or after it Well there is a Fix Get Indeo 5 Video Codecs for Windows XP Professional and supposelly it fixes it all.
I use windows xp pro, and the pc is new. I do all the maintenence all the time, and I know its not a virus or spyware. This is something that happens about 50% of the time, what is causing this?
I have a couple programs that Windows can't close when it exits (Win XP). So when I exit, I have to manually click the popup Window that asks to close the program without saving it or cancel. Is there a way to have Windows do that by default for that particular program (or even for all programs) preferably after some period of time of not making a choice?
Every time I exit Overlord I get Send/Don't Send error with modname "ntdll.dll". A mate of mine has the same error. ps: is is normal that Windows XP has so many errors?
I've been racking my brain on this issue for months with no success. So I have a AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor running on a Gigabyte mobo (I can get the model no. if needed) and a BFG GeForce 5500 AGP card. I have 2 Crucial DDR-333 512M sticks and a WD 80GB SATA drive.Now when I run Windows and basic apps(IE, Outlook, Firefox, etc) But when I run a few games like World of Warcraft, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth, etc. Occasionally it will just hang the PC. No error, just looping sound and freeze frame.
I was playing America's Army and on this computer it is is kind of laggy and just doesn't run smoothly even with all the settings on minimum. Im using a RADEON 9200, Do you think more RAM could fix this problem? Is my computer able to have anymore RAM?
Look at this log and see if they can find any reason why i have one program Delta Force Blackhawk Down online game will not play any more worked fine till 2 days ago than just wont boot up every thing else on comp works well i have un installled it and reinstalled it and same thing.
My computer often hangs whenever I play games.After it hangs for 3 times, my monitor will go black and the yellow light will bleep and it will restart by itself.This annoys me very much as I play games a lot.I've checked for viruses,trojan,ad-aware,spyware etc. I used Ad-aware,SpyBot,PC Doctor and all of it says I'm clean.
I've only had this problem for a while, i have windows xp and this hasen't happened to be before until yesterday. whenever i start up one of my big games(ie a more newer more demanding games) the screen pops up and my computer resets, i dont know what i could of don't to cause this nor what exactly whats going on the screen has a error that says IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL at first i thought my graphics drivers were buggered. so i went off and downloaded newer ones and put them on, but it didn't seem to do much.
i dont really have problems with the games im useing its the way my pc is running, i uasuly play bf2, it uasuly loads a level in around 20 seconds but now it will take anything up to 2 minutes! i have 1gb of ram and seems like its running on 512mb!, ive checked my cpu and it looks fine i also tryed reinstalling the game but that didnt help either
I've had this problem for a couple of days. Every time I start a game like portal or team fortress 2 svchost.exe starts eating cpu. This goes on for a couple of minutes and suddenly svchost goes back to normal cpu usage.
I have 7 different svchost.exe processes in my task manager, 3 system, 2 local service and 2 network service.
I've downloaded process explorer and the svchost that takes all the cpu has the PID 1412, dunno if that info makes any difference but sounds important.
I've searched for svchost.exe to see if there are any more that could be possible viruses but i only found the one in /windows/system32/ I have no idea what could be causing this problem... Also, I apologize if there already is a solution for this in another topic. Didn't find any when I searched.
I downloaded some computer game files and now I am sorry and want to delete them but can't find the files that support them. The shortcut icons appear only on the fifth line of the Mozilla and I.E. browzer home pages. The address line shows the files at http://retrogamer.iwon.com/home.jhtml?tbdd=9197. The files do not appear under C: anywhere and the search function and Control Panel add/remove can't locate them either.
It seems my pc is doing something new that it hasent done before. Right in the middle of games the system just reboots on its own and then i get a Disk Consistency check. I have no idea whats doing this since it wont even give me a error message. Does anyone know what too look for here? A friend said overheating might cause this but he knows i got a big cooling system, even has a hard drive cooling system and a high speed CPU cooling fan with a exterior intake fan
I have windows xp and i want to play a game but everytime i try to install it it says that it does not support windows NT and I have tried everything your site has said and nothing works! What can I do?
I am playing the game The Final Cut (Ubissoft) I have tried contacting Ubisoft by phone, mail and e-mail and have not received a reply. The problem is as I am playing, the game stops amd returns to the desktop. I am almost through with the game and it has worked perfectly until now.
I thought it was this new game i installed, it would lag about every minute and a half, for about 10 seconds at a time. So i uninstalled the game. The only problem is now the computer seems to get bogged down much easier (running AIM and windows media player at the same time makes WMP songs slow), and enters 10 second "slow periods". This never used to happen.
Every time i run a PC game my computer goes to the blue screen. It also does the EXACT same thing every once in awhile for java applets or large flash animations.It doesnt give any file name on the blue screen or any description of what is causing this. I dont know if there is some information you can get from those numbers.
I have a game installation zip file that can't be right clicked . I want to delete it but when I right -click the HD just grinds and WinXP task manager says the program is not responding. I end up ending all running processes (zip) which crashes explorer. How can I dispose of this rascal?
A few months ago I built a system for a friend of mine. I had the system running stable @ 2.4 GHz (memory on a 5/4 divider, if I remeber correctly) for a week before I delivered it to him. By stable I mean dual prime overnight, memtest, and hours of COD2 without crashing. Now he has had it for a few months and he is reporting that randomly it will completely shutdown. He primarily uses it to play WoW and so far that is the only time it has crashed. It has not crashed during any other activity but he really doesn't use it for much else. It will usually crash 5 minutes into game play and after a restart it will be stable for the rest of the day. Ocassionally it will crash a few hours into game play. When the behavior first started it would BSOD. Now it just turns off with no warning. After restart it works fine. When it shuts down the standby LED on the MB remains lit but the DRAM power LED does not. I have updated the Graphics drivers to the latest 90 series beta drivers. That did not affect the problem.
I own a computer with a Pentium Presccot 3.20 Mhz and 1024 RAM Megas.I am using Windows XP with Service Packs 1 and 2. My motherboard is an Abit AI7 and my graphic card is a Gigabyte Radeon 800X. Everytime I exit one of my games after everything went OK with the game, for instance: Far Cry or Lock On, my computer crashes and restarts. Could it be that directX or the graphic card are not totally compatible with Servicepack 2?
I'm a bit baffled by this problem here... I have just bought a game from the shops, put the CD in, and start the install, but then when its about half way through the install, the computer just restarts without an error screen or anything.I'm attempting to make a CD ISO Image to install from that, to see if it has anything to do with my CD/DVD Rom, but otherwise, what could this problem be?I have the latest version of direct-X installed, latest version of dot.net, latest version of graphics card drivers, and the windows installation is fresh, and had no errors during install, so it wouldn't be windows.The system I am running is an Intel I7 core 860, 3G RAM, with XP Professional service pack 2.
I am experiencing a major problem.I have installed Rome Total War in my computer but every time I'm trying to load it my computer shows a blue screen with stop message 0x50 or fault_in_nonpaged_area . The message appears only when I'm trying to load that game.It is the only game installed in my comptuter at the momment.It doesn't happen with any other program.
My son was playing a game on the web and his computer crashed. He now get a blue screen but can get to the MS-DOS prompt. He had updated his antivirus just before playing.
As I'm sure you know, when you install most games, they create a desktop shortcut. However, these never work on my machine. Clicking them always pops up a message that says that the CD/DVD is not found, and it can't be located no matter how many times you hit "retry." The only way to start a game is to hit eject, then close the tray again. Even this just takes you to the disc's main menu rather than making the short-cut work.Now, I realize that I can just eject/insert the disk, or click the exe on the disk itself to play each time...I'm just curious as to why the game-installed shortcuts never work.
This problem was brought about by just an autorun application for the game, 'The Movies' but seeing as it's a system issue, I thought it'd be better of here. I've tried numerous solutions to the problem and to be honest, I've not got very far - I always seem to be getting an error of some kind and it's preventing the game from installing correctly.
