My PC can't play games

[jonathan_lht]

I've a AMD Duron 800 PC with 64MB SD-Ram, 20GB h/d, Creative Soundblaster Value Live Sound Card, Riva TnT2 16MB Graghic Card, Gigabyte M/B running on Windows ME. I try to install Counter Strike & some other games (more than 2). After playing for a while, it will show me "A fatal exception error has occurred...."(blue screen). I've to switch off the power & on again. After that the "blue screen" error came up regularly even i use other application like Office 2000. I uninstall the game & everything is back to normal. Why games are not allowed to be played in my computer? Pls help

Possibly registry problems

I bought the same game and had problems running it. I exchanged it where I bought it and haven't had problems yet. I think that nowadays the companies that press the discs try to get as much protection against copying as possible that a certain amount of failure is acceptable. Much to the frustration of consumers however.

Have you checked the Blizzard website?

Sorry this last post was for a different question

What is the exact error message you get?

Also do you have the latest video card drivers and are they specifically for WinME?

Same with the sound card.
