I normally have my monitor settings set to "True Color, 1024 x 768". However, when I want to play most games, especially those I have downloaded, it seems as though they will not display on my monitor. When I start the program, it runs and it shows in my taskbar but will not show on the screen. When I try to reopen the window, the screen turns black, flickers, then goes back to the desktop. I've tried adjusting my settings to various options and nothing works.

I have an HP Pavillion computer running XP home and using an HP Pavillion f1503 monitor. My graphics controller shows Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV. (Don't ask me what it means, if I knew that I wouldn't be asking questions here).

Any suggestions?
