Hi ABers
I have posted this earlier but written differently http://www.theanswerb...g/Question979148.html maybe this will get me a better response as i have supplied more info.
Hi All
Im at my wits end i have installed and re installed New Vegas 4 times now and still have the same issue of whenever i start the game my computer goes back to the desk top every few seconds.i get maybe 6 secs of gameplay then i get the desk top then when i click on the icon to return to the game i have to click continue then the cycle repeats itself after a few secs of game play. I have Fallout 3 installed and have had no issues with that game. I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-FE31M with a NVIDIA GeFORCE Go7600 with 128mb/Mo dedicated VRAM and am using Windows XP. Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Is this a genuine version of the game or a copy?

does the game support windows xp? and if so are you fully up to date with your microsoft windows updates? Is there other programs running on your computer in the background using your cpu memory? check in your task manager to see how much system memory you have free. Do you have anti virus programs running or is your firewall blocking some of the games files from running? av you scanned your pc for malware and trojans? try doing a scan with spybot search and destroy anti virus its free to download off the net. Usaly programs cut off when they run out of memory cause somthing else is using it all and revert back to the desktop screen.

If you havn't already, you need to get the latest patch/updates for new vegas. The initial release is very buggy. I think the game should install into steam and updates are automatically downloaded (keep steam on and it will download) or did you *ahem* 'Acquire' the game? ;)

just thought too... always a good idea to check you're laptop drivers are up to date. see if you can download new GeFORCE Go7600 drivers from the vendors site.
