Games crash.

by chastay Jul 29, 2007 10:44PM PDT

Dell Dimension 4550 2.5 ghz, 781mb ram, win xp home sp2, ati raedon agp 9550 256mb. When playing games they minimize and return me to my desktop. I have tried adjusting video settings for card, adjusted in game video settings but neither seem to work. I updated video drivers thinking this could be causing the problem, but still the same. Does anyone have any ideas.

1. Did you slide the 'hardware accelleration' slider all way?
2. All tests by Start>Run>dxdiag OK?

all way the other side and everything in between. Most likely this is a driver issue.
