Are you logged in with administrative rights? Are these games meant to run
on WinXP?

Hi, Pete. What games in particular? What are your system hardware specs
(like processor, video card, how much RAM)? Post back for more help,
but in the meantime, here are some generic troubleshooting steps for
running games:

Here are some tips about playing games: 1) Be sure you have a fast
processor with plenty of RAM - at least 256MB but 512MB is better.
2)Test the RAM with Memtest86 if your computer is randomly freezing.
3)Be sure you have updated video drivers and that your video card is
adequate for 3D gameplay. 4) Be sure you have applied the latest
patches for the game - get them from the game's website or a place like
FilePlanet. 5) If you continue to have problems with one specific game
(as opposed to all games), see if there are user forums where you can
post for help. 6) When you play a processor-intensive game, don't have
other applications running in the background - keep extraneous
programs/services to a minimum.
