Re: error messages

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

In Viewer, look for errors that seem to correspond with when you went to
these sites. Double click the error, click the third button down, that will
copy the error, then paste the error in the message so we can see it and
perhaps we can then help diagnose what is going on.

Do you know if your system's graphics card is sharing memory with main
system memory and how much memory is allocated to the card? Typically, it's
64MB and that is often not enough for today's memory intensive games.
Online gaming brings in an additional set of resource demands so, if your
computer falls into that category, even if it has a card with it's own
memory (you should be able to get this information from the documentation
for your system or from the PC manufacturer's website) such might be the
cause of the problem.
