First of all, hi everyone! Paul here in need of assistance!
I have win xp pro and have had my pc for quite a while now with no major problems, any problems i have had ive fixed with no hassle, however now im a bit stuck.
First of all when running certain programs, i.e. hitman pro, my monitor keeps flicking on and off as if it were refreshing, at the same time a little box pops up in the taskbar which looks like a dos box, it comes up then goes, then comes and goes etc. Very frustrating as the monitor goes mad at the same time.
Secondly im having problems running certain games. I just downloaded the demo of toca race driver 3, but everytime it starts up in a little box i get this:
Thirdly, and a problem that will probably require re-installing or using windows disk, is a long black screen on boot. Usually the first screen with the specs comes on and is gone quick as lightning, now it stays for bout 20-30 secs, then once the windows logo has finished loading the black screen comes on for 1-2 mins, which ive never seen before, usually it goes staright to desktop.
Any advice and help would be much appreciated, thanks.
