game exiting to windows
I have been having this problem for a while now and it is getting annoying
now. 3 months ago I built a new computer, the aim being windows 7 ready. When I am playing a game it sometimes closes with no warning and I get the following in the event log: Event Type: Error Event Source: Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 16/02/2010 Time: 12:05:22 User: N/A Computer: LEE Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 6. and Event Type: Error Event Source: Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 16/02/2010 Time: 12:05:22 User: N/A Computer: LEE Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be found.

You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 7. I was wondering if it was a corruption of the registry but I have just got this error on a new install. There is a possibility that there might be a problem with the mobo but that is unconfirmed at the moment. The game in question, this time, is Mafia, but it has happened on other games. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is causing the error? Could it be related to a graphics problem that I have been having for which I have been advised is a power supply issue. I have just replaced the PSU with a Corsair vx550w.

Just so you know not to hold your breath for a reply from Andrew. If he
follows up, it'll be the first time I've ever seen it. Hopefully someone else can step in with help on your problem. "LeeG" wrote in message ...

You might want to try the XP Games group (not sure exactly what it's called
in the web interface, but its "proper" name is microsoft.public.windowsxp.games). Someone there may have experienced the same problem. And/or it wouldn't hurt to try looking for support forums for Mafia or the other games it's happened with. "LeeG" wrote in message ... I am just wondering if I have posted this in the right section.
