Games STARTING to force close

Hello..

I have a Desire HD (Bought yesterday (Had HTC Magic before for two years) and I have lots of HD games on it from Gameloft that run brilliantly, no lag or anything.

I went and installed angry birds and played away a while then exited the app. Now any time I open it, I get a force close immediately. No black screen or anything, just a Force Close as soon as I click the icon. It happens with X-Plane too. The only thing that makes them work again is to reinstall or restart the phone using the restart button (Not turning off then on again manually) (Both apps are installed on the SD card)

It only happens with Angry Birds and X-Plane. Anybody know why? I'm running Android 2.3.3

Thanks!! :)
 
You could try the Log Collector app:

install it, run the offending game, then run Log Collector. It'll grab the phone's "logcat" output which may have some error info (unfortunately, it'll be way down at the end of the log). Log Collector is mostly for sending device error logs to developers, which you could do, or just save it as a draft in your email and scroll down to the game crash time to search for clues about why it's crashing.

If by chance you have the Android SDK installed on your PC, you can watch the Log output directly with it as you run the game.
