Whenever I try to play a game it never starts! When I try to open Enemy Territory if just changes the resolution of my desktop. When I try to run Americas Army it just shows the splash screen then goes back to the desktop. When I try to run the Doom 3 demo it just stays at the desktop! They were all working last night and now they dont run at all!! I tried rebooting but that does nothing. All the original games that came with Ubuntu still work. Please help me. ](*,)

what's your desktop resolution? i've had the same problem with america's army when i ran a low resolution. if you are on 640x480 or 800x600 try 1024x768 or 1280x1024. on 1280x1024 it runsflawless at my box.
