What Are These?

my friend has a computer shop. i will not go to the details on the specs cause it is obvious that he has the requirement for games like WARCRAFT, BATTLE REALMS, and DUNGEON SEIGE. the problem is that, sometimes, when he is trying to play one of those games, the game doesnt start at all and will display an error message such as:

1.) _delis
2.) could not read DAT file
3.) isset_se

the thing is that the games that he is trying to play runs smoothly when he restarts his computers. its not that big of a problem but its annoying. im seeking everyone's advice on this issue.

GODSPEED!!!

After he installs them, restart the computer before playing. Does he do that?

Are the games original?

Are there any background process that are either existent when the error occurs and not when it does not? Is some process spun off by the crash? Sometimes when a game crashes it does not completely destroy itself and an instance of itself can still be floating around.
It is a long shot, but still a suggestion.

I would do a google warrior search on the first and third errors to see if any information crops up.

Respectfully,

GOTO start: run: msconfig: then the startup tab and see how much is there... he might just have a lot of stuff in the background and any of those could be the culprit

thanx for the suggestions but it seems hopeless to solve the problems. im on a deep research right now and still can't find light on the cave. if ever someone had an idea about what to do, i would appreciate it a lot.

GODSPEED!!!
