every online game ive tried to play ( risk your life 2, fly for fun, americas armys, shadow bane, and shadow world) will not work... i am almost positive that its because of xp security. i have all firewall and stuff shut off, the only other thing it could be is im connected to a router... what do i do! this is soooo annoying. thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the forums. :-)

By "will not work" do you mean will not install or will not play after install? I had a similar problem, I had alot of games that wouldnt work because I was using XP pro and then I got XP Home and they worked.

i got xp home.... and i mean after i install them, i tried running em and they dont connect.. i always get some kind of error or connection failed prompt...

If its an online game it could be the router because I have a router and its stopped me from playing online almost everytime, people have told me that I have to set my router to forward it to the correct port, I dont know how to do that though. . I'm sure that someone here will be able to help you though.
