Hi, The only explanation I can come up with that hasn't been mentioned on this thread so far would be to make sure an antivirus program or firewall isn't blocking the game. I don't see why it would try to block the Kitchensinc games, since none of them connect to the internet, but Top Speed will almost certainly make your firewall pop up a few times. You just have to click on the allow button and it should work after that. A hotkey for jaws would be useful for figuring out if this is the problem. Then your friend can load Jaws and see if a window from his firewall or antivirus is there. If the music is too loud, he can go into the volume control and turn down the volume for the application. It's probably not his computer that's frozen, probably just the game, and after he figures out whether this is the problem, he can either click on the appropriate button to run it properly or simply go into task manager by hitting control shift escape and killing the program that way, saving him from having to do a reboot. Hth, Desiree
