Okay, not sure what "Emulators" nor "Games" your running here plus your PC specs might help. Too me it sound like a DirectX issue, but really can't tell ya.

Well, not a problem with your PC, sounds like a corrupted file. Let's make sure here. Can you post the file size plus extension? Curious about something here...

Set "Save Type" to: "Flash 128k". See if that works.

This all sounds like a GBA "Pokemon" issue here, though should be "merged" with this one: http://forums.emulator-zone.com/showthread.php?t=11384
