Default another freecell problem

I have a Freecell problem. When I try to open FC, I get a blank white
board with a message telling me an error has occured. It gives me the
option to close or ignore. It won’t let me ignore and if I close it
pops up the standard close/details error box. If I click on details I
get: General protection fault has occured in module CARDS.DLL at
0001.00000903. I have tried all the other suggestions to ADD/REMOVE
and haven’t had any luck. In searching for info on CARDS.DLL, I see a
lot of registry cleaner software offers. Is there another way to fix
this? If I bought the registry cleaner, will it fix the problem?
Thanks for any help, Hoot G.

What happens if you temporarily turn off your anti-virus program, or
your "Guard Dog" program if you've got one of those already running,
and try to use Freecell? Does it work if you turn those off? I've
heard some AV programs can cause those types of errors. Also, I have
heard some registry cleaners can actually cause this problem too, so
I'd probably pass on those.

I have already tried turning my AV off. Everthing I’ve found said this
occurs after installing something. The bad thing is, I only started
trying to play it a couple of weeks ago and my wife had not played it
in awhile. Therefore, we don’t know what did it. Hoot
