Hey guys Im new to this forum. I had a comp. built for me a couple weeks ago. I mainly play games on it. Every game i get CTD at seemingly random times. Looking in the Event Log there are 2 events right before the crash every time.

- Event ID 9010
A request to disable the Desktop Window Manager was made by process (Fallout3.exe)

-event ID 9013
The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because composition was disabled by a running application

This happens when I play Fallout 3, Prototype, SimCity 4 Deluxe, Sims 3, Wheelman, GTA 4, Godfather 2, and Company of Heroes ToV.

I have searched google and cant find anything that fixes the problem. Does anyone have any ideas to resolve this? Thanks.

i am having the same problem per below, but for GTA IV:
