It sounds like to me that your Video card Memory is filling up. Once you close out, it seems to be clearing this and then works again.

What Kind of video card do you have? This can be found at Start Menu\Run Type in DXDIAG and press open or Ok.

It will now ask a question, say Yes or NO, it is up to you, No is a little faster. Then click on the Display Tab at the top. Now it should state Device Name on the Top Left, give this to me in this forum post. It should also say Total Aprox Memory, also give me this information.

One other thing to try is to Right click anywhere on your Desktop, where there are no icons. Then Left click on Properties. Now click on Settings. Change the Color Quality to 16 bit, instead of 32 bit. Now try it again, once you have saved this and see if this fixes it.
