    Hi,

    There are two simple games I love to play: Wordzap and Jarnadains. What? Those are games? I know. I know. These are not your typical Doom and Quake, but I like them. Anyway, I installed on my laptop with Vista and they played fine for two weeks. Now Both won't work because of something called memory errors. The ram is fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still they didn't work. What went wrong? They worked for two weeks. They still have same codes in them as they did a month ago. If there were any compatibility problem, should they not have worked at all in the first place? It drives me crazy. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks

    hope that helps
