If you're running Windows XP you could restart the computer and hit F8 when it first starts loading windows. A menu should come up that will allow you to boot up in safe mode. Choose safe mode. Be patient because xp will take a lot longer to start up but when it does it will ask you if you want to run System Restore. Choose the appropriate button for System Restore and Restore your computer to an earlier time. Choose a time that you're sure was before your crash and tell the computer to restore back to that time. If the system restore is able to restore itself to an earlier time then your problem should be gone after you boot back up. This is assuming that something has been corrupted or changed in your software by whatever happened to crash the system. Good Luck.

What do you mean the game died? Does it not work anymore?

Do you have another computer that you can use on your broadband router/box? Just want to be sure that it's actually the computer that's having this problem and not the box itself.

I don't think this is related to a virus infection or anything like that, but if you want to check, run the steps outlined at http://www.greyknight17.com/spyware.php
