After installing a BETA version of a game, my PC crashed pretty hard requiring me to restore to a previous date. However, now I am unable to play 3 out of 4 of the 3D games on my system and receive the following error message when attempting to do so.
"Unhandled exception: c000001d
At address: 00500d56"
The addresses/numbers are different each time.
The applications will actually load and run initially, but inevitably lock up and Windows displays this message in a dialogue box.
I installed SP1 and the latest version of DirectX in hope that it would resolve this, didn't work. I've also tried two different versions of drivers for my video card.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. I would like to avoid reformatting/reinstalling if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.
