Silverfall crashing mostly solved by
Mark
FYI
For anyone playing Silverfall and receiving frequent crashes, even with the
1.17 patch, the problem may be in the Physx add-on rather than a display
driver/game issue. I was experiencing frequent (every 3 minutes) crashes
with the game, after installing the 7.07.24 PhysX driver, I have only had
one crash since (a DirectX blue-screen crash) in several hours of play.

Stalker with Vista by
rudd
Hello,
I have just bought a new pc with Vista and am trying to play Stalker. I
crashed every ten to fifteen minutes or so with a completly frozen screen
that can only be sorted by turning off the power. Is this simply a Vista
issue? Should I install XP too and run it though that? Any help would be much
appreciated.

I've tried to run Call of Juarez and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, which used
to run fine under XP. Both seem to need Directx 9 files to operate and won't

Problem with Games and DEP by
Silentway
Ok So I think I have found the problem most people have been having with
Games not working on Vista and simply crashing after 10 min. Everyone always
tells them it's a driver issue.
I found that the problem is with the DEP (Data Execution Program). When your
game crashes its because Vista thinks the software is processing the memory
(RAM) wrong and shuts down the program to "protect" the...

Stop Error 0x000000E3 by
Will Bartram
Hi,
Windows Vista Ultimate. I've put this under Games because that's how the
error effects me the most. Basically, I'll put my game's DVD in the drive
and attempt to run that game (Medival II Total War, C&C3) but usually I will
get a BSoD with the above first error. I've recorded a few full errors so
you can see them below:
"A thread tried to release resources it did not own." With...

Diablo 2 - Poor Performance by
Counter_Strike
I just bought a new laptop and installed D2 on it. I can get the game to
run, but as soon as there's any video demand my frame-rates drop from 50-60
fps to single digits.
Is there any way to tweak video settings to get around this?
The game worked great on my older laptop even though it had half the memory
and a much slower processor.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Not able to download games sites by
1CanCee
When I try to download game sites, Vista stops me from doing so. It asked if
I am connected to the internet which I am but I am not recognized for it.
Sites like Big Fish or Real Arcade just do not load. They get stuck tracking
saying downloading in progress and I let it run but it never completes the
connection. Something stops it from completing the game site. I am using
Vista Home...

Halo 2 Multiplayer: "No profile found." by
Bryan Harper
After installing and patching Halo 2, I was prompted to create an Xbox Live
account. So I did, and attatched the included Gold Trial to it, and when the
account was created, Halo asked me to input the info I just made. So I did.
It logged me into Live. It downloaded the profile, and said it had to
restart. So I let it.
Ever since then, it logs me into Live everytime I start the game. ...
