Hi,

I installed PlayOnLinux and manually installed a game. The game runs just fine, better than in Wine alone, but sooner or later it crashes. Most of the time only a few minutes after I run it, sometimes (rarely) it lets me play for an hour. About half of the time my screen goes completely black, and I have to restart the whole computer. The other half of the time only the game crashes, but it cannot be run again until I restart, and I noticed that after it crashed, video won't work in VLC. It opens, it has sound, but the window is pitch black. This issue also resolves if I restart. I played around with registry and configuration, nothing helped.

I use PlayOnLinux 4.0.14 and Wine 1.3.28 in it,
Ubuntu 11.10 and Gnome,
and my laptop:
Memory 2.9 GB,
Graphics Intel® 965GME/GLE x86/MMX/SSE2

If you have any idea how to fix this or even why it occurs, I'd really appreciate your help. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks for your time.
