[SOLVED] Windows 7 64 bit crashes constantly with games - APPCRASH - Fault Module Name: d3d9.dll

Anonymous

Greetings,

I had Vista 64 and now upgraded to Windows 7 64bit. 80% of my games crash on load.

As other I have googled the shiznit out of this, it seems most people crash some time into a game, I crash without the thing loading at all.

My setup.

I had a vista machine that I had upgraded to the max and had changed to 64 bit windows 7

fallout 3 and oblivion worked fantastic

I get a new computer with windows 7

install, then crash before starting

what could the difference be

I actually tried installing to another file (part of problem seemed to be permissions) worked okay but when i tried to go live nothing worked again
