trouble with desktop shortcuts

I have two games, Emergency Room 2 and ER--Disaster
Strikes, both by Legacy. I installed them on XP, and
found that my desktop shortcuts are somehow unstable.
Sometimes they open the desired program, but most times,
they produce error messages such as
"ER Disaster Strikes.exe --Application Error
The instruction at '0x77f580c9' referenced memory
at '0x00000000'. The memory could not be 'read'.
Click on OK to terminate the program."
I come to this forum because the games are no longer
under technical support by the maker. Anybody have any
ideas?
Many thanks, Lee.
 
Chris,
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to the address you
gave, and confirmed that my Windows Update and Norton
Update are both current. This leads me to believe that
something else must be going on.

Chris:
I downloaded and ran Symantec's tool for Swen. It
reported that Swen was not found on my computer. Plan B?
Thanks,
Lee
 
Are you running any updates from the manufacturers on the games? Anything
else running in the background while you're playing, such as ZoneAlarm? If
so, close all that stuff down and see how it reacts. Maybe Jimmy will pop
in here with some other ideas, too.
