Hi Martin,

Have you installed the latest patches available for all your games?

Post your system specs, what laptop are you using. How much memory is being used for the video ram. (It is shared in most cases with the system ram).

Make sure you are installing them with the CD they came with and not other methods. Also try right clicking the .exe and going to the compatibility tab. From there check Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP 2 and Run this program as an administrator.

And for future reference, posting "Help me please" is not an appropriate title - post a synopsis of the problem in your title- otherwise some people are apt to ignore your cry for help.

Title edited for clarity of problem.
