| | "executable has stopped working" My Window Vista games have stopped working. Most wont even open, however, Solitaire does open, but always freezes and stops whenever i attempt to do the same move. The message that comes up usually mentions the executable has stopped working. This also happens when i try to open and "preview" pictures in my documents. I have also noticed that the colour scheme i have saved previously now refreshes back to the basic one everytime i turn on my laptop. I feel as though i have deleted some important file! I'm using Vista Home Basic. Any suggestions? |

I'm using Vista Home Basic. Any suggestions? There are a couple of things that I'd suggest trying: 1. Do a system restore to a point before this started happening. 2. If system restore doesn't fix the issue, try doing a system repair using the Vista DVD. That should fix any problems with the system files. Let us know if that worked for you. |
