110183	2002-12-31 21:12:00	If I try to run freecell, it comes up with "Freecell has caused a gpf in cards.dll" Ive tried removing and reloading MS games...still the same. Tried extracting freecell.exe and cards.dll....no go. This is really desperate stuff, as its the wifes favourite card game!!!! Any suggestions please.	DaveMac (2886)

110185	2002-12-31 23:35:00	And a Happy New Year to you Peter. I'm running 98SE, no Office programs installed. Looked at that article, but the program they mention (ctfmon.exe) is not present. Thanks for the suggestion though.	DaveMac (2886)
110186	2003-01-01 00:53:00	What have you installed recently? It is fairly well known that some progs overwrite the dll's. Had the same problem about 2 years ago, and from memory, they only came back after a reformat etc. A bit drastic - maybe do a search on google for another version. Bye	Peter H (220)
110187	2003-01-01 08:15:00	Do you have Nortons CleanSweep installed? If not, ignore the rest of this post: :-) If you do, use CTL-ALT-DEL to bring up the background programs and shutdown CSINJECT. Try opening FreeCell again and see if it now works. The CleanSweep program has also been implicated in cards.dll errors.	Jen C (20)
110188	2003-01-01 21:17:00	Hi Peter Nothiing's worked so far, so I think your suggestion may be the one! Thanks Dave	DaveMac (2886)
110189	2003-01-01 21:20:00	Tried this, even un-installed CS (still no go) and then re-installed. Thanks for the suggestion Jen	DaveMac (2886)
