You must have mental telepathy, hotdoge3! Am only person using this puter. Use it under name of "Owner". But in past few days I'm getting (logged on) as Administrator. Had learned long ago should not use it as Admin, to use another name, so I use "Owner" daily. Tried to fix it so when I turn this thing on it goes to Owner, but can't figure out how to do it. Have to go on as Admin then log off and log back on. Oh so confusing.

Anyway, about all I recall as to WHY a person shouldn't sign on daily as Administrator had to do with mistakingly changing settings, makes it easier for hackers, or whatever. So it was real nice to see your post. (And yes, I read the news at cnet.)

Report: Windows holes eased by axing admin rights.
Vulnerabilities in Windows are mitigated by configuring users without administrator rights

"We believe that running users as standard users is good for Windows"

Also try running dxdiag to see if it can come up with any solutions or reproducible errors.

Try to run the games again and check if they work or if the Blue Screen can be reproduced "on demand".

There is mention in some other threads about a directX file that was missing - some people already have the file - others had to source it themselves. I think if you are missing that file - the game won't start at all.

I installed Libellus and Surakarta around 6 am this morning and sometime between 8 am and 1 pm (when I got back to my computer) a blue screen Stop Error was on my computer. The message said this was a serious Error. This has never happened before so I'm assuming it's from one of these programs. My pop up web page said this could be caused by the wrong drivers being installed. During install of one of the programs (I don't remember which but I think it was Surakarta) I got some kind of message about DirectX and also a directory wasn't found. I'm assuming the DirectX might have been the issue but I don't think DirectX is a driver. GAOTD, do one of these programs need updated drivers. I have Windows XP and I haven't had too many problems installing your programs(and no scary ones like this). I haven't installed anything else after I installed these 2 programs and wasn't using my computer when the Blue Screen occurred. I know my computer was functioning at 8 am because I turned the alarm off and left.
