Solve : Can't get games.?

Answer»

When the grand kids wanted to play on line games (checkers and backgammon) I got a message with 0x80041006 as a reason I can't open. Googliong that only got me a bunch of paid for adds to correct registry. Is this ACTUALLY a virus we've got, or is there some kind of real issue?I don't KNOW what you GOOGLED, but here's what I got: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGLL_en-GB___US394&q=0x80041006&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=f&oq=&gs_rfai=Yup. That's the exact same page I got. But everyone of those ADDRESSES leads to some kind of
'scam' program WANTING us to spend plenty to cure 'registry errors' that we didn't know about.That's not what I see. Clicking on the first couple of links yields these pages:

Anyway, stay away from registry cleaners at all costs.
Got evberything going Ok by simply rebooting windows. Probably a problem with the hard drive eh?I wouldn't think the hard drive, but whatever - as long as you're up and running.... Thanks for the update.
