Okay so I seem to have this problem with every single PC game I try to play. Basically I'm just trying to focus on possible causes of the problem. When I start a game up, let's say Age Of Empires III, as soon as the intro video comes up I hear some weird clicking or ticking. Then I can play as usual but with the clicking popping up every once in a while.. Then usually after a random amount of time the game will freeze. OR I can actually quit the game and do somethin else for a while but somewhere down the road - my PC freezes. This happens with every game, more often with more taxing games on my video card. Now I know clicking is usually associated with HDDs but I just dunno about that. I have two HDDs and for example. I had Pirates installed on HDD 1 and had the problem so I wiped the drives clean and installed WinXP and Pirates on the other drive and had the same problem. 1GB Corsair Barton 3200 9800 Pro Omega Drivers 120GB + 80GB HDDs MSI K8-n72 delta-l mobo
I open a new page or file my pc opens a new window which is no big problem but my task bar quickly fills up, it never used to do this. I also have a problem when I play certain games the resolution gets adjusted and when I shut the game down items have disappeared from my desktop, to get them back I have to adjust resolution to make icons large, drag items to side of desktop, then adjust resolution back to normal.

I was given some info to try which I tried to no avail and then someone told me to do a Hijackthis scan Could someone please at least check out this log and see if the problem lays there as I cannot play any games etc as they are totally unplayable even if they are really old or I turn all the specs as low as possible.
My PC Specs, Dual Core, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 9600GT. Whenever most of the games I try to play, they crash at their launch. Its not with games like GTA Episodes from LC or PoP:Forgotten Sands, games such as NFS:Carbon also has these problems. I remember that games such as NFS:Carbon used to run even on my old pc which didn't even had any graphic card.
i have been trying to play a game on my dell and the game is halo the game minimum cpu speed is less than 800MHz and this ones is 3,000 the game still laggs all the time even with all of the other programs closed and i am thinking i have too many running processes .... i think i have about 40 normally running is this too many?and how many need to be running for the game and the computer to run without any thing else?
I'm using Windows XP, amd athlon XP2.5, 1.83 Ghz with 512 RAM and kindda old graphic card. ok ok .. its GeForce 4. My PC hangs quaite often and i dont play any games. We are using intranet in my campus and i'm not sharing any files either.
My system is locking up when I try to play games or stream media. I recently loaded Norton internet security on my system and thought that may be the problem. However I disabled it and I still get a lock up.
When i put my computer in standby or hibernation...about 75% of the time, when i bring it out of said state, i can use instant messaging, play online games, my internet works, but not my internet browser. neither firefox or IE works, it acts just as if i was offline. my second problem...is when using a program that opens an HTM or HTML file inside itself (counter-strike, anti-virus, just about anything), it asks me before it opens it, and if i click ok, it opens it in my internet browser, and i have no idea why. this gets REALLY annoying, especially during online gaming when i can't see in-game guides to do things, and it opens up 3-4 dialog screens before every single game.
I have had problems playing games online, never used to. I am having trouble downloading messenger on a site I am on. I had erased some things not sure if thats why. Someone said something about my java or something. I do not know how to check if my java is still installed or if working properly. I have a emachine . Its XP2000.
I was playing a game normally... After playing for a LONG time, the game briefly paused and I saw some visual artifacts, textures were all messed up etc. But I loaded a savegame and it worked fine after that. (I admit it, I had tried overclocking my GPU but that was over three weeks ago and I reset the settings back to normal.) Then, after about an hour, I used alt+tab to check out a walkthrough, then alt+tabbed back and it took much longer than normal to get back into the game...
I am a WoW player, and I haven't been able to play in a while because my computer that has good enough specs is broken!Every time I turn on that computer, it brings up a screen that says to pick what you want to do:Safe Mode Safe Mode with Networking Safe Mode withCommand Prompt Last Known Good Configuration Start Windows Normally (Defaultly Selected)It says you can use the up and down buttons to select one, but it won't work for me.
I'm currently using an Esystem laptop that other than the odd error beep will not play music file or sounds on games.I needed WLAN driver a few days ago and you helped brilliantly, supplying me with the file.
I can play music, but can't play music videos.I get this error message:Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. In the Open URL dialog, try opening the file using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").I am also having problems with UPDATING Windows Media- I get a message saying I am missing some components. I cant go into the Microsoft updates webpage either- I get a message saying ''page cannot be displayed''
whenever I try to play music it doesnt play, it says low on memory, whenever I open any Microsoft Word program it gives me some error about a license, and whever I try to copy and paste anything, it doesnt let me. I have a few partitions on my hard drive and whenever I copy one file or a folder or anything, I cannot paste it anywhere. If I open Control Panel, the screen doesnt appear as usual, all the icons are on two columns on the lft side with a scroll bar next to them. If I try to open Add/Remove programs, it comes up all garbled. I was going to just reformat the whole computer but it will not boot from the cd rom drive now. And whenever the computer is booted in W2K and I try to browse the CD in My Computer, it just says "Please insert disk in drive...." Also, whenevr I restart, it sits on my desktop for about 5 minutes before it finally brings up the icons and everything. It has never done any of this, it just started this morning.
I have a couple thousand midi files broken into smaller folders. I click one to play with Media Player or there was a link that said PLAY ALL. That doesn't appear anymore and I have to keep selecting tunes each time one ends. I looked in the window drop downs but can't find how to bring back PLAY ALL.
i have a problem with windows media player, whenever i try to play a video, it says play at the bottom left hand side of the screen but nothing plays, audio, or video, what do i do?
I'm the full admin on my computer, but any program I'd like to install says I need administrative privelages, although it says I am on my account, and on others, I've tried going to guest and back to admin, but nothing happens! Hopefully a wipe is not in order, as I have many things I'd like to save on my HD.
I seem to be havning a problem with my xp when it comes to administrative privileges. Whenever try to install a agame or some other program that needs administrative privileges it won't let me. I'm the only person who uses this computer, I don't have a network or anything. I tried creating a new user account, nothing, I tried using system restore from a week ago where I wasn't having the problem, still nothing. Anyone know what could possibly be wrong?

I run across certain things that won't allow me to view (such as downloaded games) and I get a message saying
"There has been an unknown error! If you are running windows 2000, you may need a user with more privileges. Please contact your system administrator".
I do not have administrative rights on the computor at work. When I attempt to either download an update or do other simple tasks, I receive a message informing me I either must have administrative rights or to contact the assigned administrator. I really don't want to contact the IT guy because that department is short staffed. Is there any way I can add my name as an administrator?
I am removing Linux on 2nd drive Need to use FixMBRWhen entering password for login in XP recovery console, I get kicked out I cannot remember what I set up 2 years ago I have the login for my profile which has full administrative access s there a workaround to change the password on the actual administrator profile from with my profile?
I recently purchased a Texas Instrument TI- 84 Plus Silver Edition Graphic Calculator and when I tried to load the accompanying TI CONNECT software, my computer would only allow part of it to load. Actually the program loads it is when the program goes to "setup" that I receive an error message telling me that I am not an admistrator; therefore, cannot complete the setup. When all is send and done, there are some functions the calculator will perform but the major functions will not like loading anything to and from the computer to the calculator. When I use the Screen Capture function it will do so, indicating that the two are communciating. Other processes will not function however.
I changed from a domain to a workgroup on a work computer that stays at home, but remotely access the network via the internet. I had to reboot, however it turns out the account I was using is on the remote domain, so I cannot log in. I don't have the administrator password, and would like to somehow set the domain back to what it was earlier so I can log in again. How would I go about doing this?
