what does the red x in the box mean when I'm trying to play a game and that shows up where the game should be.

your games applet may not be loading you may have to go delete it and re-download it again

You need to download the latest direct X driver, and that should solve it.  www.directx.com

Any website requiring Active X will usually prompt you to install it. The prompt would show on the top part of your screen in a yellow colored bar.

actually tlb5859's suggestion is better.  That should keep you from having to change your color settings every time you play the game and close it.\n\nRight click the game link, go to Properties.  Click the Compatibility tab, select "Run in 256 colors"  Click okay.  Shoule be good to go.

this usualy happens when the Min rquirments for the game u r playing is not there in ur PC.\nCheck ur CPU speed, RAM, VGA card.

it is because your monitor is not a windows compliance...it means that the driver of your monitor is not included in the package provided by microsoft...\n\nyou need to install your monitor's driver...

what does it do when you try, otherwise I'll just assume its direct X, or not properally installed drivers for your card.

mabe you should get a newer game or a older version of windows, some games do do that,

It could be a problem with the video card, the display settings or the drivers. Check the display settings first, then reinstall your video drivers and DirectX, and... if it comes to it, try replacing the memory card.

Two possibilities....\n\n1. Old drivers.\nSolution: Check for the latest video card drivers and make sure you have the latest directX\n\n2. Incompadible or old hardware.\nSolution: means its time for an upgrade. Check the costs and decide wether to get a new PC or a new card.\n\nFeel free to contact me for more info.... If you can tell us the card type and your DirectX version it will make the awnsers more helpfull.

Either your package on the CD does not have the games or its on optional. So you must custom install them. \nGo to Control Panel>Add Remove program> Add Remove Windows Component> Accessories & Utility

Check your system settings.  Also, there's trouble shooting, both on the game website as well as over the phone with one of the store clerks.

i am not sure but it has something to do with your activeX control settings.

on the top of the screen there are 3 boxes to check on one to click on is the box with the x that will close it. maybe for some reason it opens up twice try to click once when you open it or close it

Either the crack of the game is buggy OR it might have referred to your VGA driver.\nTry to reinstall, that also.\n(With a better one if possible.)

Read the box on the game and make sure your system is compatible with the game. It could be \n1) not enough memory\n2) graphics card is not compatible or insufficient\n3) clock speed is too low\n\nYou need to be system compatible to have a game run smoothly on your computer.\n\nYou can find out your system info by going to Control Panel and then Systems.
