Did all this start when your power supply was faulty? If so, you may have lost a few system files along with the power interrutions.

Go to Start->Run-> copy and paste the next line as I write it....

sfc /scannow

Have your WinXP disk ready. After you have done this, please go to Microsoft and reinstall any updates that may have been lost during the file check and replace.

Also, you can try to bring on this problem again, then open up your Administrative Tools->Event Viewer->Applications.......look for any RED errors in there. Looks also under "System"..........

To me, it sounds like either you lost some files, of your PC is having problems with that particular game..........

Welcome to the forum, I hope we can help you....
