I just reinstalled Windows XP Professional along with Service Pack 2. I installed Street Legal Racing: Redline, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, and 3D Ultra Cool Pool. Whenever I exit out of ANY game, I get a black screen and I can't get to my desktop? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
 
Check to make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card.

It sounds like you're changing display sizes when entering/exiting these games. It could be hanging when trying to switch back to your default resolution.
 
SP2 man, can almost guarantee it. Roll back to SP1, that should work.

I have only known SP2 to work on fresh installs.

hints that he re installed with the service pack2... anyhow update ur vid card, then in the games options u should find a screen size. maybe you should toy with that..
also try this exit ur games with cntrl alt del and see if they exit right, if not it might be the games themselves having problems exiting. (are tehy all the same company?)
 
Thanks, i fixed it. I saved everything I needed to a DVD-RW and reinstall XP. I installed in everything I needed and now it works well. Thanks for your help. BTW, I installed SP2 too, =D.
