i have windows 98 se and all of a sudden freecell has stopped working. when
i start it now, i get the old-school "an error has occurred in your program"
window with "ignore" or "close" options. ignore does nothing, when i hit
close the new-school "the program has performed an illegal operation" error
window comes up. here are the details:
FREECELL caused a general protection fault
in module CARDS.DLL at 0001:00000903.

nothing has been changed on the system, the error seems to have come out of
the blue! there is nothing else acting up on the system, there are no
viruses or spyware. i tried using the add/remove programs to uninstall the
games, and then reinstalled the games from the windows 98 cd-rom. i even
tried copying cards.dll from the WIN98_60.CAB from the cd-rom over to the
system. i have also tried copying the freecell.exe and cards.dll from a
windows xp machine but they are not compatible with windows 98. it seems
like it is something else besides freecell.exe or cards.dll. i have read the
KB article which mentions ctlmon.exe or something, but that file is no where
to be found on this system (office xp is not installed)! it seems silly that
i would need to reinstall windows again just because of this, so can anyone
offer any advice? i would appreciate any insight. thanks!
