Re: error messages

In this case, it's not a question of the minimum requirements of the game,
rather it is not only the type of memory but also the fact you are running
Windows XP, an extremely graphics intensive operating system. Games place
huge demands on the system, especially the graphics card, combine that with
the demand simply to run XP and you have quite a demand load scenario.

You're problems all indicate a problem related to games. Online gaming can
take more resources because other processes and applications come into play.
I can't say positively, but the errors you have posted along with the types
of applications involved seem to indicate a system that is choking on the
demands being made on it.
