I installed this game called Black and White. However, I can't seem to get it to work. After starting the game, the icons from the desktop will keep on flashing in the background while the game is running. And when I decided to use the cursor to click on the game, the whole screen will switch back to desktop, and the game will shrink into a tab on the taskbar. If I click on it, the game will crush the computer. What should I do????

try disabling your av and any other programs you have running in the background.

My operating system is Window XP. This game is so old, and there aren't any patches for it anymore...

Try running it in compatibility mode. AV = anti-virus.

I've tried turning off the AV, patch the game, and end off all the background programs, still not working...
