I've been asked to resolve this:
Emachines system, RAM upgraded to 128MEG, onboard graphics of some sort. Games play fine, but on exit (from both The Sims and Worms armageddon) the user is left with a movable mouse pointer on a blank screen. 3 finger salute doesn't bring up task manager but the keyboard is responding. No right click menu though.

Tried openning a text file before entering the game and this allowed me to ALT TAB on game exit, then I could bring up task manager and kill WA, doesn't work for the Sims.

If anyone has a quick and easy fix for this I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.
