Why do my games freeze

[bluto]

Does your computer stay on indefinitley for everything else you do ? YES
Are your video card settings matched up in the game options ? YES

OK,
Let me sleep on it.This is unusual to say the least.
Does even Solitare freeze ?
DO you have a firewall and a lot of other protection running "interference" an old football expression.
IF your a serious gamer than you will sacrafice these to have fun for a while.
