I don't know what i may have done, but everytime i try to launch any game the program crashes upon start-up. It doesn't happen while i launch other types of prgrams (fcp, photoshop, safari, etc, etc) only games. I'm running 10.2.6 and i know my hardware is ok for the games i'm trying to run, as i used to run these games before, but now i can't run any of them. appreciate the help
 
What games. Name some off. Do they fill up the entire screen and/or change your resolution?

Maybe your computer is trying to tell you that you should work more. 😀 😛

Like scem0, I want more information on this. What games are they?

For the moment, try repairing permissions on the drive. To do this, boot from an OS X CD and when it gets to the installation select "Disk Utility" from the File menu (might be another menu, though), select your hard drive and go to the "Repair" tab. It'll have the option there.
