Well, that means you got the blue screen while you were playing.

This means your computer has crashed or has gotten a major error, that windows can't continue to run and it is dumping your physical memory to see what problems might have caused it to crash in the first place so you can fix it.

To gather the memory dumped info:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=192463

You might be getting this everytime you play this because of the following.

Your computer doesn't meet the requirements of the game.

So RAM (although you claim to have 448 which is enough)
CPU speed (MHZ, GHZ)
your video card
etc etc...


Hope that helps you

Sounds like it may be a problem with your drivers.

Check you have the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Check you have the latest Direct X drivers (DirectX 9) get this over at the microsoft support website.

You may want to check for the latest BIOS updates, and the latest chipset drivers for your mother board.

Other than that, I really need a lot more information before I can help you. The make/model of graphics card, what games are causinhg the problem, and whether you are using open GL or direct 3D. Post some more details ;o)
