'***.exe stopped working'

Everytime I run a .exe of any kind I get a window that says the file has
stopped working and will be closed by windows.
the most recent games i have tried to install are: Cars and Cruise Tycoon.
Both come up with the same problem. I have tried changing the DEP settings
and the compatibility settings, can anyone help? I want to play my games!!!

Re: '***.exe stopped working'

Have you tried running as Administrator? Do your Event logs show anything?

Re: '***.exe stopped working'

Good! The exception code 0xc0000005 (and the rest of the log entry, for
context) is what we need to proceed...

Will do some digging...

Re: '***.exe stopped working'

As it says below - you might need to double check your hardware, test the
RAM (do you know how to do this ? Google MEMTEST), try and get the latest
drivers for your hardware... I doubt it's malware/adware though...

http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewto...337156c61fea50

"The error 0xC0000005 is generated by an illegal "memory access violation".
This can be caused by anything from faulty RAM, an incorrect/corrupt device
driver, poorly written/updated software and more commonly under Windows XP
Service pack 2, malware/adware installations."
