Problems with my computer...

I've been noticing something lately...a lot of the no-cd/dvd cracks that I have don't work. They all get to the splash or flash a black screen really fast then close. It's like I have some kind of hardware problem, but all of my drivers are up to date, I've reformatted and reinstalled Windows 3 times, but they aren't working anymore. None! Windows is up to date using Windows Update and I've scanned for viruses quite a few times. Has anyone had a similar problem?

I'm not kidding - I have about 10 or 15 games I have no-cd cracks for and NONE work, and they used to work.


As usual, thanks for the help =D

Game don't run without the crack either, it's like DirectX is screwed or something. I have no idea what to do. What usually happens is that the game loads to the splash, then quits. Only a few games work with the DVD/CD and the rest just freeze. I have enough room on the HD and enough RAM, video card drivers and all isn't a problem, it's just like a few weeks ago a switch was flipped an none of my games work.

Well, if you think your DirectX installation is corrupt, why don't you run DXDIAG?!

This isn't the PC troubleshooting forum either, why not post this in the Hardware forum!

As joe said, run dxdiag and tell us what happens.

Thread moved to Hardware.

I had this problem once with my Alice game, didnt load and the game gave me an exe error.

Redownload the cracks and then give them a try. Sometimes corrupted old exes mess up with time.
