Hey! Do you have two video cards? What were the other results:Are you above 80%? Has that program helped any?
Hey! What is your video card because it appears you have two sets of drivers installed. Nvidia and ATI.
Hey! You have to uninstall the NVidia. Start R click My Computer Manage Device manager on the right side of the screen click on the + beside Display Adapters You should have the ATI 9200. If there is anything else R click it and click uninstall-- you are looking for NVidia drivers. It may ask you to reboot. After reboot, try the games and see if you get errors.
Hey! Get rid of the secondary one first and then go to Start Control Panel Add Remove Programs look for NVidia nad uninstall. reboot and try your game
In the Device Manager, click on the View menu and select Show Hidden Devices to see all drivers that are installed.
Update- i uninstalled the 2nd driver and checked the hidden files but was still unable to locate an nividia. also, i decided to re-run an anti virus since now i just have 1. sure enough it found 18 trojan's. so after that i tired to launch a game but this time it stayed on a black screen for 2-3x as long as before but still restarted. btw thanks for all the help everyone has been givin me i really really appreciate it!
always run antivirus & antispyware at least once a week but other than that good for you!!!, happy computering, if in doubt ask
Hey! Maybe it's time to backup your important stuff(just the stuff you can't afford to lose) and perform a complete reinstall of Windows. This should fix your problem. You could try the Repair Existing Installation option. This might also fix the problem and you won't loose data. It's a good idea to try this first and if it doesn't work then a complete reinstall should fix it. After you reinstall/repair check your updates. Install drivers for the video card if you need them and run your game. If all goes well it will work. Install programs one at a time and check for instability.

Read the Issues the program has, Check your version of Direct X. Sometimes the New Vid Drivers have conflicts with older games.It will causes crashes.Unreal, Sof BF and some others are buggy in that way. I use 4 different vid cards in my systems. Seems like the new "updated" drivers work well only with new updated games. Always Patch your games even if you play single player. A must if you keep updated drivers and current MS DX ! hope that gives ya something to think about.. GL
Looks a lot like memory problems.... Dunno if "starting a game" qualifies as stress Uninstall the nvidia and ati drivers and start over Thats one (or two ) ATI cards too many
