Ok , Ran down the issue....
because of the centrino proccessor and the installation of SP2 a "data Execution Prevention" (DEP) is initiated because of the security issues of SP2 and normally would be ignored but because of the centrino processor it is preventing the registering of an OCX (active X)file when called. Basically what happens is that when activated, DEP
imposes limitations on certain programs and stops them from operating....in your case the order to stop the active x file as called from the game to not work or to limit it....your monitor shuts down and prevents it from installing(registering)... There is not a surefire fix to this as it supposedly only happens with the centrino proceesors and SP2. The DEP is ignored with other processors so has not become an issue.
The only work around is to turn off the DEP:
Turn off the DEP feature in Windows XP SP2
If you need the functionality of the incompatible driver, you can turn off the DEP feature. To do this, follow these steps: 1.Restart your computer.2.During the restart process, press F8.
Note On a computer that is configured to start multiple operating systems, press F8 when the Startup menu appears.3.Use the arrow keys to select a Safe Mode option, and then press ENTER.4.Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.5.At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER: bootcfg /raw “/noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect†/id 1
Note If you have multiple start entries or start options, you may have to manually modify the Boot.ini file for your computer. To do this, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.b. On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.c. In the Startup and Recovery dialog box, click Edit.d. Change the /noexecute option to the following: /noexecute=alwaysoff
e. On the File menu, click Save, and then click Exit.f. Click OK two times.6.Restart your computer.
Hope this fixes it for you. Keep me posted!
