I have AVG free edition, but I don't scan regularly since it's SOOO slow. I should eventually actually pay money for a faster scanner, but anyways... About reinstalling these games: I think it's something more than just a corrupted file since it's happening with ALL my Sierra VGA games. I didn't mention, but this also happens with SQVGA and laura bow 2 (which I never got to play
.) I guess it could be the memory thingy, but I'm not really sure what lines I need to edit in config.sys. About TSRs... What the crap are they?? Tasers? Anyways, this problem has been going on for a while, so I'm not quite sure what I've installed at the time of the problem.
