A friend of ours has a new in Aug 09 Dell laptop with Vista.
She cannot play certain things on it and gets that same message.
3 people have tried to fix it and cannot. I'll ask my son when he gets home (he is out of town now), and see what he says. Probably won't be until Monday or after, as he has to get back to work etc. He'll most likely be exhausted from Disney World!
I have to wonder however, if your drive is not working right. Playing for a while and then stopping is kind of suspect about the drive.
