i think an error occured last time i posted this so i am forced to post it again.

Programs, and in particular, games close suddenly and without warning or notified error. I am running windows xp pro service pack 2, 1gig ram, 2.1gighz amd processor, 128mb radeon sapphire 9250, 60gig sata HD with a gigabyte k8 mobo with peripherals using serial connection. I have latest drivers for all components, since i only bought this computer a week ago. I see no reason why this should occur from a hardware perspective. On the software side, at startup there a about 7 applications running as shown next to the clock. The only one that troubles me is the hotkey driver monitor, as ive never known a keyboard to need such software, especially on a serial p'n'p device.
