i am using a windows xp os and have tried three games empire earth II, spiderman II and sherlock holmes. when i run the game my screen goes black like when we but the computer into standby mode ( to precise exactly like standby mode the green light goes orange) however when i tried playing the games on win98 it worked fine. my motherboard is vinitron and the max size is 64mb. i couldn't find the update for vinitron motherboard. is there any way i can get these games to work on my xp. my video card is 256mb and ram is 256mb and my computer is p3 933mhz

Empire earth 2 shouldnt run on that pc, and spiderman 2 i dont think will either. Some exact specs would help but i think it is just the fact that the pc isnt powerful enough to do xp and the games very surprising that you could play those games before.
