Hi binnysmalls,
Do you remember changing or updating anything on your system
right before the problem started? Video driver update perhaps?
Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :-)
1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php
2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
install Windows Defender from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.
3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games
require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a
5. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
