    You should be careful posting this kind of thing in General Discussion. You're liable to make someone's head explode.

    Im sorry about that.
    I fixed it by remove display driver then install display driver again.
    may be that error came from fx5200go driver.

    Thank you very much.

    But my problem now is moving ARCANUM WINDOW. I wanna move ARCANUM WINDOW to the left. It always is in the center screen.
    Before i back up my SySTEM DRIVER, i can move ARCANUM WINDOW when it's loading. But after backed up, i cant move ARCANUM WINDOW anymore.

    May you help me pls. Im sorry about my bad english.

    Have a nice sunday.

    I don't think anyone here runs Arcanum in a window, let alone has experience with that program, sorry.

    Is this Arthgon?

    Anyway, download a copy of Spybot Search and Destroy and have it search your harddrive for any spyware. I don't know what that spycamera thing is but it doesn't sound good. Is the D3DWindower what lets you play games windowed? I don't know if Arcanum has an .ini file but check to see if it does. If yes, then check in the .ini file to see if there is a parameter for StartInWindow or something like that and change it from 0 to 1. If that doesn't work, try altering the shortcut by placing a parameter in it to start windowed (again, I don't know if that's compatible with Arcanum or not). I don't know what the parameter would be. Google it. Basically I'm just giving you suggestions to get rid of that D3DWindower thing.

    Have a nice Tuesday.

    I think you'd've better luck going onto a forum for D3DWindower. This doesn't sound like an Arcanum issue. This sounds like an issue with that program, and they would be better equiped to help you with it.
