Have a friend who recently installed a free waterfall screensaver from the net. Now, when trying to open Freecell, an error message with a general protection fault in cards.dll appears, and the program will not run. Have uninstalled the screensaver, ran system file checker, restored Freecell and cards.dll from the cab files, and ran a spyware check and eliminated all spyware found. Still the program will not run. Any suggestions, as I do not know much about how the program runs. Thanks.
 
Have you scanned for virus and spyware? "Free" programs often have a "price".
 
I ran a spyware check and removed all spyware found. Friend said she ran a virus scan and found nothing. My guess is the spyware corrupted something that Freecell uses, I'm just not sure what.
