Ok, here is my computer's current system:
AMD Athlon 800MHz Processor
40GB Hard Drive
256MB SDRAM (Upgraded from 128MB.)
Geforce II graphics card
Supports up to 1600x1200x32 resolution.
Now, I just bought Midnight Club II for my computer, and it's minimum requirements for processor and ram are the MINIMUM requirements.
I keep having a problem where it seems to be just cutting the game off and going to the desktop at random times. First time it cut off, it was when it was sitting at a loading screen and I pressed space bar. Second time, it just cut off when the game was starting. Third time, it was when I tried to change the resolution for the game.
Could anyone tell me what I could do to help this?

Processors kinda out dated might wanna get a new one of those. Get a new video card for sure too.

Ever since I got Neverwinter Nights, every game that was as system demanding as that or more system demanding as that, has been really ticking me off.
Whenever I shut down a game, or when the game crashes, I HAVE to restart my computer in order to play it again. I use RAM Booster, and still. What happens is I try to run it again and it comes up with the illegal opperation window, and then goes back to desktop. It only happens after I have played a demanding game once during the time my computer has been on. Is there anything I could download to fix this? It has to be somehow screwing some type of memory out of my computer, and that is why, but I am pretty sure it isn't RAM since I have been using the booster and it doesn't do anything. |

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but you should probably check for the most recent drivers for your video card. Also do you leave Rambooster running while playing games? Since that's not really a good idea as most games usually depend on Virtual Memory so they try and use a lot of RAM. Then RAMBooster does it's thing and shoves the data in RAM into the swapfile file to free up RAM. The game probably still needed that RAM so it will get it back and RAMBooster will then detect that the RAM is near empty again and shove the data back out to the swap file :P. So all Rambooster is going to do in an application that uses as much RAM as possible(ie a game) is fight with the game for control over the memory. |

I just downloaded the latest driver for my video card today. RAMBooster i only run once and then shut it down once it frees the RAM.
