Error Memory Violation

Using downloaded game Jardinains, was working fine until recently attracted viruses. About same time Jardinains stopped working with Error - Memory Vilation popping up and closing program.
Tried re-installing to no effect. Is Directx not working properly?
Any suggestions welcome

 

Trouble with viruses is the corruption, and the changing of files and registry they do before they are squashed.

You got two options, locate and repair the damage it has done, and that can be a pain in the butt. You can format and reload everything, and that is a pain in the head.

 

Thanks, I'll take the head approach
