Hi I have a problem on certain games shutting down suddenly when I am playing and then XP displays an error message but when it returns me to windows everything is displayed really bright and i have to reboot it has done this on medal of hounour, return to castle wolfenstein and soldier of fortune 2 although on sof2 it does it every time i play now and it seems to be with saving and loading games i dont think it has anything to do with administrator rights as i am the only user of this pc and it is not set to limited i have tried uninstalling the game and i did a system restore on XP but neither worked

Or... go to the game sites to see if there are any updates for XP.
