Exclamation BSOD if I play Games
Hi,

I recently deleted a load of viruses and such after a large attack, and everything seems to be going well now, except whenever I start up most games, ones that I installed before the attack and after, I get a BSOD.

Some happen when it's loading at the beginning, some happen after I try to play the game after creating a game profile and such.

The only virus I still have is Keylogger on nmfilter.sys or something, but I can't do much about that.

Some games are fine, mainly ones that don't go fullscreen and aren't 3D or anything.

On blue screen I get a little quick error code, that goes in a few seconds, I believe it's "0x0000007f" or something, maybe an extra 0.

Can someone please help with this, it's driving me crazy.

I've only ever had one other bluescreen, which happened randomly while going through YouTube, but now it's only my games.

Much appreciated,
Douglas

Sounds like the clean up removed some files that are needed by these games. You may want to unistall the games and reboot, and then reinstall them.

By reboot, you mean, restart my computer, or "start all over" with my computer, if you understand?

Smile Clean up
This sometimes helps me when I have hardware problems

Click Here for the free software I use for pretty well everything I fix. It really cleans up your computer. It also comes with a bunch of other tools for uninstalling and stuff too.

I tryed uninstalling, rebooting, and re-installing games, to no avail.

I also tried the program given above, and although it got rid of some empty registry and got rid of a few adware, it didn't do much else.

In fact, trying to use it's Memory Optimizer, it gave me the same blue screen. :S

Please help! Coming home from School at 5 PM and not being able to do anything is quite annoying!

Thanks,
Doug
