My thanks for your replies, but especially to John Brown whose suggestion may well be the answer. This may or may not affect the problem, but it’s worth a try. Obviously, hardware problems are harder to deal with, but since you probably have an on-board video you may be able to go into the CMOS and change the amount of memory assigned to the card. If it is a hardware issue, you may also see other indications of “artifacts” in other places not so obvious. It wouldn’t seem to be a software problem or it would respond to the re-install, either of the game itself or certainly if you re-installed Vista. If I understand what you’re describing with a column being “displaced”, what you may be seeing is an “artifact” created by a defect in the video memory system. I also looked on MS’s site FAQ and posted there but three weeks later I have no hope of a response. I also ran various on-line anti-malware products- again no change. In attempts to correct this fault, I have twice re-installed FreeCell in the games directory and even re-installed Vista with my firewall and AV only – all to no avail. The game continues even through a few games before behaving as 1. With the displaced column in its displaced position, Windows is searching for a solution”Īnd when I cancel it (after seeing it for the 20th time) I am presented with a second message “FreeCell.exe is restarting”, which it does normally. Two error messages appear stating “FreeCell.exe has stopped working. ago with the game freezing during play by displacing a column vertically downwards, then one of two things happen: I hope someone can help with this recently-appeared problem, which is really annoying (rather than disastrous), but it may be an indication of something more deep-rooted.
