Well, it is possible that your computer automatically downloaded a graphics driver that it doesn't agree with, now that we know that it isn't isolated to one game.
See if you can find out what kind of graphics card you computer has (if you don't know offhand, a free program like Speccy would do the trick), then go to the manufacturer's website and find their "Drivers" section. (I believe most graphics card makers have an "app" on their website that automatically checks if you have the latest version. If they don't have a checker, go to 'Device Manager'\right-click\properties\Driver tab) Download and install the most recent graphics driver.
If that doesn't do it, we will go from there. (after checking the web to see if other users are having a similar problem. If the graphics driver update came out recently, and is the source of the problem, we would install the previous stable version.)

  • Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7 shuts down when I try to create disk folder

    Loaded Premiere Elements 4 on a new computer running on Windows 7.  Previously used this software on Windows XP with no issues other than slow.  After creating a project and going to Share/Burn Disc I receive a message that Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working.

    Are you getting any message about MPEG2 Activation?
    What are you trying to do....burn to folder Folder (4.7 GB) or burn to disc? There seems to be a conflict between your thread title "create disk folder" and body of reply "going to Share/Burn Disc".
    I have Premiere Elements 4 on Windows 7 64 bit, and it has been running OK for Share/Disc/DVD disc with the standard or widescreen presets.
    Are you having problems with the burn to folder as well as burn to disc? If you have not tried burn to folder, please try that and let us know how that works.
    Also, please tell us what the burn dialog shows in its Quality area for Space Required and Bitrate (with check mark next to Fit Contents to Available Space.
    Thanks.

  • Computer shuts down when i try to sync my ipod

    Computer shuts down when i try to sync my ipod

    Just took out the book from the library "Sams Teach Yourself itunes 10 in 10 minutes" by Brad Miser.
    Basics for problems syncing:
    -restart computer
    -make sure device is not out if power
    -try a different usb port...BTW....I contaminated a usb port by someone spilling drink on the usb port end of my ipod cord...bad...
    -run apple's web-based device assistant
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 (windows) or http://support.apple.com/kb/TB1591?viewlocale=en_US (mac)
    clink for the device...etc.
    this book looks great

  • Safari shuts down when I try to do anything connected with bookmarks...

    I can't import any of them from IE nor add new ones...What to do?

    There are experienced and helpful people here who run Safari under Windows. Be patient--this isn't chat and Monday mornings tend to keep people busy with work.
    Allow me to offer a suggestion that might help you get noticed by the right contributors: Before 15 April 2011, there were separate forums for the Mac and Windows versions of Safari. The new forum software unfortunately lumped a lot of stuff together. So....
    ...were I using Safari for Windows, I would insert "Windows" in every title I posted here so those people most experienced with it can see your post at a glance, rather than having to open the hundreds of new posts every day to find the 20-40 that are about Safari for Windows.
    For this thread, the title could look somthing like this:

    You need to adjust your security stuff/ permissions and possibly use compatibility modes. It means that your licensing service is being blocked/ shut down.

  • My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF created in pages. Why? Very frustrating...., My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF created in pages. Why? Very frustrating....

    My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF I have created in pages. Why? Very frustrating....

    That is very interesting in that my iPhone was exhibiting similar behavior with the "blue screen of death" with Pages a few months ago. An update for Pages came out and when I installed the update, the problem disappeared.
    Is Pages completely updated on your iPad? Do you use iCloud with Pages? If you use iCloud, try turning it off. settings>Pages>Use iCloud>Off. You will not lose your documents since they will still be in iCloud even if you turn that off on your iPad.

  • My CS4 keeps shutting down when I try to use it,why?

    How can I stop my CS4 from shutting down when I try to save or even open a file in it?
    I have tried resetting the preferences file. This worked once but so far has not worked again(I found this solution just by googling). It is obviously a common problems but I cannot find a solution that works or an explanation as to why it happens.
    Please could someone at least explain what causes it? And preferably how to fix it?
    It cost a lot of money and I don' yet understand why I should lose the right to have a functional programme. I'm not interested in having any new features etc. It takes me ages to work out how to do easy thing each time a new programme comes out!
    Thanks
    I do not know how community forum works and am very afraid I won't know even if anyone has answered this. I don't us any social media and am not familiar with the sorts of abbreviations and conventions associated with them, sorry if this is inconvenient but I don't know what 'tags' is.

    I don’t know why this happens and with the information you have provided I doubt anyone can do so so with accuracy.

  • TS1702 Since I updated to ios6 my City of Warfare game shuts down when I try to go to battle. I removed my original game app and reinstalled a new game, which I had to start from the beginning and it still crashes. I'm sure that others are having similar

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • ITunes shuts down when I try to purchase songs

    When I click "buy album" it connects to the store, and then iTunes shuts down. It also shuts down when I try to "check for purchases." I am running the newest version of iTunes. It also did this with my previous version.
    Real Player also shuts down, when I download videos.
    I have re-installed both iTunes and real player around 5 times. So that will not help.

    In addition to the other requested information, when was the last time ... or perhaps this will be the first time, to run Preferential Treatment to ensure your preference files aren't corrupt? If you can download it, it's at http://www.jonn8.com/html/pt.html. If you have OnyX, you can check your preference files using it, too.
