I just built a new computer and I cant play games. I installed FARCRY and HALF LIFE 2 so far and they both havent worked. I patched farcry with the regular patches, and then uninstalled and did it with the 64bit patch and still nothing. I will click the icon to launch it, the splash screen comes on, and then nothing happens. There is nothing in the command screen, so i know that its not running. I know i can run 32-bit programs on 64-bit windows through WOW64, but is there something I have to do to activate it first? I would really like to play my games on this computer. Someone please help me. These are my specs:

5200+ am2
100 GB 7200 rpm HD
2 GB corsair XMS2 ddr2 6400c4
8800gtx
650 watt psu
windows xp professional 64-bit
