Can someone please help.

Does your PC have a Motherboard or Processor or Hard Drive or CD ROM Drive or Video Card or Sound Card?

Did the games work before you installed "Play back-up games" from gameburnworld.com?

I would think that the "Play back-up games" from gameburnworld.com has altered a setting in your Registry that EA Games do not like.

Would i be correct if i said my motherboard is "1st Mainboard"
soundcard= crystal cs4281
got hard drive & cd rom drive
got video card
got processor

PS the games did used to work.

thanks again.

You need to find a 'Registry Cleaner' to root out all old entries from "Play back-up games" out of your Registry.

or

Spring clean your system and do a clean re-install of your Operating System.

I have no windows disk and have tried "Norton Symstem checker"
any other suggestions

PS sorry bout the delay..

I think you will find that this piece of software has changed your Registry with regards to Electronic Arts games.

Try this ...

Uninstall your EA games.

Uninstall "play back-up games".

Do a system cleanup.

Defrag your system.

Install 1 EA game and see if it works.

If that is succesful defrag again and install another game.

i cannot uninstall it but i can delet it ( if i go to add/remove programes it is not there)

[GLEN_MAN]

PS

it runs in da system tray so i can uncheck it from "msconfig- start up.)

[LooseChippings]

Try that then.

[GLEN_MAN]

Try to get hold of a Third Party Uninstaller such as the ones listed HERE and uninstall the software.

You will probably need to re-install the affected games.
