Graphics problem - colours change when playing games

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

When I play certain games on my computer, eg Age of Empires, at some point
during the game the colours suddenly change. The gameplay continues, but the
colours are now wrong (and horrible!). It only occurs in some games, and
after a random length of time playing it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rachel

Are you playing "trial versions" of the games? They may
have a time bomb in the code.
