    Question All games crash to the desktop

    I am running win98se
    Every game I play on my computer crashes.
    most of the time, directly to the desktop, sometimes they perform illegal operations, and have to close.

    I have updated all my drivers, I have direct x 9.o
    I have bought a system registry repair program.

    I don't know what else to do..
    any help would be greaty appreciated.

    Please provide more system information, what CPU do you have installed, how much memory do you have installed? How are your system resources when this happens?

    I have an ecs p6vem3 motherboard
    via samuel 2 giga pro cpu 800mhz
    240mb of ram
    30gig hard drive
    15mb video card sis 630 rev 21
    I usually have about 90% of my system resources free
    but now have only about 75%
    I tried using the hardware scanner from this site but it only come up with my direct x version and 0 mb of hard drive.

    Sounds like something is robbing system resources, please click HERE and see if you have anything starting with Windows you can do without. It may not help but it can't hurt

    and any idea why the hardware scan won't work on my computer
    I followed the directions, and it seems to scan my computer but I recieve no info on my computer.
