4gbs of RAM, Windows XP 64 bit, and there is nothing in task manager other
than the game and the various utilities that need to run. Although I will
try
to test the pagefile as you said (have to put the games in windowed mode,
yuk
;)

One weird thing, is i have to unplug my usb mouse when windows starts (i
have
a usb mouse, usb keyboard and usb joystick) otherwise my mouse doesn't
work

Also I have a unknown hardware and some audio hardware thing (which is
weird
as I have installed the sound card) which want me to find the dirvers on
logon. Could they have something to do with it?

If you installed a seperate sound card, do you have OB sound, and if so did
you disable it in the bios? Before you go any further, make sure you have
all your hardware conflicts resolved. Make sure you have no yellow question
marks in Device Manager. Any conflict there can cause you problems. Try
different 64bit video drivers after that if you still have the issue. Some
very marginal performing 64bit video drivers have been issued by both AMD
and Nvidia.
