my pc has no viruses,spyware,no issues exept that it wont play Dirt bike champ.I just bought it,and installed it with no problems,and when click on start to play the game my desktop screen flickers to black with nothing on it,and then a blank black spot appears when it returns back to the desktop.I tried all the video resolution settings and it still doesnt work.it is compatible with xp,and i have direct x9 installed and my video card is a nvidia fx5200 128mb.I have all the reuired items but i can get it to play.here is a couple of pics to maybe give some idea on what is going wrong.

Can you possibly give me the publisher, developer of the game? I can't find it, and can't troubleshoot for you if I don't know the game.

Well, i managed to find it, and it only took google .16 seconds to find it.

It's by gamesoft

hmmm...looks like it would work just fine...i guess i will look into it a little more.

Ok, i am not seeing why this game is not working on your system.

The only real thing that i can think of is that it's also 98 compatible, and there might be a few issues in that department.

I have seen it where games are compatible for both OS's but does not work on the new one.

Have you tired to install this on lets say a friends computer, or a different computer that has XP.

Are you running Profressional or Home.

Wow, those are some cool pictures... why didn't you press "Print Screen"?

Anyway run the command "dxdiag" and do all the tests... do they pass?

Use the web the way it was meant to be used. Get Firefox.
