not sure if your using vista or xp so heres a couple of things to try for the moment

if you have vista, Try the following: set your DEP for essential windows programs and services only. Right click 'computer' - properties,-advanced settings,-advanced,-under performance,-settings,- data execution prevention,-and Turn on DEP for essential windows programs and services only.

another thing to try is the following
Verify that you have this specific problem by going to Control Panel>>>Administrative Tools>>>Computer Managment>>>Services and Applications>>>WMI Control. If you right click on WMI control and you get any sort of access denied error, then you need to run this fix.

Go to the command prompt and type this in:

net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service

Then reboot your computer.

After you run that command you can verify its success by typing in:

net Localgroup Administrators

It should spit out something to this effect:

Administrator
LOCAL
NT AUTHORITY\SERVICE

The Command Completed Successfully

let me know if any of these work for you or not
if not ill come up with something else, in the meantime be sure to make sure you update ALL your drivers

yeh ive seen those. neither of them worked. I was missing a file so i got that then reupdated my DirectX and it works fine now. its really fast so you wont hear me complaining of lag as much nemore and the graphics are good, even though i only got the 6200.
