Visual C++ Runtime Errors

[end1ess]

ive got this error ever since i installed xp. i was running 2k before but decided to change o/s. I updated due new hd / video card. (2 western digital 80gigs and a fx5200) and i wanted to play some games to test it out. and when the program is about to get to the main menu or in the game. an error comes up and "visual c++ runtime error: abnormal program termination" then after it gives me a bunch of addresses and a reference and says "the memory cannot be "read" any help?

All that means is that whatever application it is that has a problem was
developed with VC++. You need to determine the application and then query
its support people to determine if it is compatible with XP.

Well, then I'm sorry to say that I can't offer much help.

Still, it is more likely to be a problem with some component written with
VC++ (video driver, Open GL, DirectX etc) than with VC++ which is the topic
of this group. :-(
