Ok I have no idea whats going on. Ive been able to run these games in the past and now after an absence form playing them they will no longer run on my machine.

The game wont even start and I get the following message:

Ive tried reinstalling the games, that didnt work. Ive reinstalled the latest nVidia drivers and that didnt work either.

Im officially asking for some much needed advise
 
Sounds like you have a bad video driver install. Happened to me when i was playing KOTOR. Go to drivercleaner.net and download the program. It is $9.99 to buy it, and i dont think they have a free trial or anything, but it is really worth it:D . It uninstalls the drivers completely for a fresh install.
 
OK well I got it working. I just reinstalled the driver that came with the card and everything works fine. Thanks for the help.
