I got an xp problem too...with games
Wednesday, January 15, 2003 by Justin Smith | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
No games seem to run right...even brand new games... I tried disabling sysmetrix, (helped a lil) excluding the games from window blinds (also helped a lil) but it still does wierd things...like if I'm looking at a map in the game and I click towards the bottom of the screen, it thinks I'm clicking the windows task bar!! what the heck is going on? Surely somebody else had the same problem with games, I mean I have a pretty nice computer...can somebody please help? I really don't wanna stop using stardock products. I love these themes

trun off * auto hide * in Windows XP Taskbar settings and see if it continues, maybe?

I to have had problems with objectbar and any full screen game. And it isn't lack of memory - I have a Gig. I stopped using OB on this machine and went to Nextstart's new startbar. It plays well with the other children.

Justin, I have had a big problem running games on Xp. Sof2, NOLF 1&2 and a few others. I tried everything. The only sulotion I found was to create a dual boot and run my games on 98. Now all the games work great and I still get the good stuff from XP. I hope this helps.
