Well, The thing is, my computer is very powerful, i know that as a fact, so what is happening to me must have something to do with misplaced data or something to do with software, the hardware put me down over 4 grand, and its got things like dual NVida 8800's, and 4gb's of ram, so the hardware is not the problem. When i start a recently installed game, it loads (i think) then just gets all funky at the main menu. It plays the menu's music, which often repeats at points, and the menu is blank, and unusable. I am unable to click anything and am therefore unable to play the game. This Problem has occured with 2 free games (which i downloaded, from 2 completley differnt developers), and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2, by Lucasarts, an official game company. PLEASE help, i am unable to use or play games that i have purchased, and those that i havn't (but still acquired legally). Any Advice?

You plunked down over $4G's for a PC & put "idk" for the CPU?

alright, if you feel its important, (dont ask me why) its a Intel Core2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz, but, if you can, stay on topic

NVM, i have found a solution, all that i needed to do was switch the mode my graphic cards were in (under the advanced tab in the display panel) to enable SLI technology (I have 2 NVidia's) The games worked after enabling that.--Lesson learned.
