    When i try to play games (such as EA games), the message appears " DirectX
    reports not enough video memory available". When you click again the
    following error/warning message appears
    "The instruction at "0x2112ddba" referenced memory at "0x01937920". This
    memory could not be read.

    I have played these games previously but i did pick up a virus recently. I
    beleive this has now gone but could it have effected this? Has anybody got
    any ideas for me please. I am a little bit PC illiterate so all help is
    appreciated. Thank you
    Tony
