Engine and Renderware problems

Honnen11 · 10-18-2007, 04:33 PM

Ok, every time I try to start a game it comes up with the same error for each game. Error starting engine, and then Error initializing renderware, and then the game shuts off and my desktop items become huge.

I just recently got rid of some serious virus problems, not sure if they did something or not to some part or whatever.

I am obviously not very knowledgeable about computers and what to do with this problem, so I appreciate any help on the matter.
