"A Max Payne"

First off i'm not sure this is the right forum for this topic, but hopefully i'll get an answer.

Anyway I've just downloaded Max Payne from KaZaa. I extracted the files and them compressed them to a .rar file. I put it on a CD and took it to my other pc i got for xmas. I extracted the files from the CD, and then clicked the Max Payne logo to play.
While i'm playing, randomly, at whatever part im at the game just stops and dissapears and the desktop appears.

Why does it do this?

I havent installed anything, I cant find anything to install it, could this be the problem?

Please, if you have any ideas what the problem is please help.

Thanks.

You've downloaded an illegal game from Kazaa...

That would be your problem!

There's all-sorts in those games, viruses, spyware...

Just buy the original version where you will get some customer support...

I havent got the money, but all the files are clean, I virus checked them.

... also there's no spyware as I use KaZaa Lite.

It may just be your PC, if it's only at times when a lot is happening on or off screen at a time then you PC may just stall the game...

My F1 game does that when I cause pile-ups of over 10 odd cars!

Total chaos, then it just quits the game...

Buy a faster PC...

Oh wait, you haven't got the money..

Oh God...

Kazaa Lite doesn't have spyware, well done!

The file you download could have viruses and spyware in it!

That's why you should just buy instead of just downloading stuff..

Could there be any other reasons? Its a new pc.

Its ok as i've virus checked.

Not that I know of...

I don't know much though..

What spec. is your PC..

My 3 and a half year old 800mhz PC still plays most games fine...

Spyware isn't checked up with a virus checker!

Download AdAware and scan your PC for all of it...

Make a back-up of all the files using the back-up feature before you delete anything!

If you've downloaded stuff before and you haven't scanned, you'll have a lot of crap there!
