Troubles, games, Vista? No games working!

Somethings wrong, I don't know if it's with my installation of Windows Vista
or what. Anyway, everytime I try to launch any game, e.g; Star Wars Knights
of The Old Republic, and I know it works, cause I can hear the sounds and so
on, the(I don't know if this is the correct name, since I'm using the danish
version) Problemreporter and solutions pops up, and comes with the message:
Error has been recorded, therefore we'll be have to close this program.

World of Warcraft, and CS(CS only works with software mode which aint good
enough for me) works. Don't know why, World of Warcraft I'm running in a
window, that might be why? However, I'm not going to play every single game
of mine in a window, please someone, help.

Appreciated,
Martin Larsen(devon).

System specs would help in the process. But more than likely you're dealing
with a Driver issues, and more than likely it's a video driver issue. Early
verson of the video driver didn't support OpenGL, which may be why you're
having running CS:S.
If you have a nVidia card, you'll ant to grab the 100.65 drivers from
nVidia'swebsite, if you have an ATI card, you'll want to grab the 7.1 or 7.2
drivers from ATI\AMD's website

Helpful, but if this won't help, I'll write it in this topic. Anyway, I'm
running an Nvidia 7650GS video card, 1024 mbram, Vista Home Premium, also
core2duo processor.
