Maplestory Black Screen of Death

Hello, so I've just recently reinstalled my XP due to numerous conflicts with it that caused it to be slow as a snail. Right after I reformat the hard drives and reinstalled Windows XP, I tried to play games such as MapleStory, Left 4 Dead 2, Counter Strike, and starting all the games results in a black screen that would last for 20 seconds, then my desktop would restart.

Here's what I have installed:

1. Direct X
2. My computer graphic cards, yes updated.
3. Service Pack 3.

Help please?

[quote=Suryoyo]what version of directX did you install?
if i'm right, directX is installed automatically through windows update or the graphic card driver
so you don't need to install it manually.[/quote]
