Appcompat error with games

[troymca]

I recently built a new system and am running Windows Xp pro - I installed MotoGP 2 and it worked fine, but now I try to run it again I get an error regarding
"C:\DOCUME~1\JOSCUE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1B.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt"
The only temporary solution is re-installing the game, but the error reappears when I try to load it after restart or something...I get the error with other games too.

I downloaded the latest ATI cataclyst drivers (for ATI Radeon 9600 pro) but that hasn't solved the problem, - i'm using DirectX 9.

Any help would be great, thanks.

It appears that you have a compatibility problem with the game. The appcompat.txt file should show you what was running at the time the game crashed.

Have you tried running the game in a compatibility mode?

Have you tried the latest Omega drivers for the video card?

BTW, there's an update to DirectX 9, to <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en&categoryid=2" target="_new">version 9b</A>.

Okay, i've tried compatibilty mode, new omega drivers and direct x 9b,-to no avail. The only thing that solved it was to reinstall the game, but this is only a short term fix.

Any other suggestions?

Now after a few restarts it comes up with the error when I try to load the game again.
Here is what I found in 'appcompat.txt'
