I have a problem playing games. This is a brand new computer. All games does not load and end abruptly sayin that there was an error and the error report dialog box opens. What do I do?

Edit: Moved topic from XP to the more appropriate forum. ~ Animal

It would help us if you were to reply with the exact error messages you are receiving; these will help diagnose your problem. How far do the games get in loading? Can you hear them, for example, spinning?
Regards,
John

It seems to me that many of the persons reporting this error Google Link seem to have illegal versions. Perhaps that is the situation they are trying to overcome.

Hey, I bought it with my own money. And, when I play another game called Magic Ball 2, BSoD. Big problem. I cannot play any games except Zuma Deluxe and Tumblebugs.

All this happened when my cousin ran Combofix. He just does stuff.

And, thanks for your help, hamluis.
