Hi kamjm,

The following applies to most games in general, and not just to the games that
may be listed in the KB Article refered to in this post.

SYMPTOMS:

When you start or play any one of the games that is listed in the "Applies to" section, you may experience one or more of the
following symptoms:

..The game stops responding.
..The game quits unexpectedly.
..The computer restarts unexpectedly.
..The game encounters an error and needs to close

Additionally, you may receive the following error message after you receive the Gathering Exception Data dialog box:
<Game Name>has encountered a problem and needs to close.

RESOLUTION:

Method 1: Restart your computer by using a clean boot procedure
Method 2: Remove and Reinstall the Game
Method 3: Adjust graphics hardware acceleration
Method 4: Disable AGP Texturing in the DirectX Diagnostic tool
Method 5: Temporarily disable the sound card in Windows
Method 6: Lower sound acceleration
Method 7 : Download and install the most recent version of DirectX
Method 8: Update your video driver
Method 9: Update your sound driver
Method 10: Scan your computer for viruses

as a gamer myself i have seen this all to often with other games, the reason
it accures in the first place is becouse the game is having conflict issues
with windows...usually.

there are ways to fix these poblems, if ur getting that all to familiar
exception error msg from windows its windows way of saying it doesnt
currently like ur game/program...and i usually turn the dang thing off
becouse its pretty useless after a certain point, after that you should make
sure that your OS and drivers are updated.

http://update.microsoft.com/ is were u can go to update windows.
as for the drivers it is advisable to go to the website of the manufacturer
of your hardware (www.nvidia.com for all nvidia products).
