What is your antivirus program ?
Have you changed to a different OS there at any time recently, such as an upgrade to Windows 10 ?
If so, post the exact info on the computer, as in model, model number, and manufacturer, exactly.
My system is Vista Home premium, everything up to date. HP a1723, Intel Pentium R D CPU 2.8GHz , 1gig ram, 32 bit, nividia geforce7300, directX,9 and 11, everything latest version,
(I did update the nividia driver and ran malwarebytes after the games stopped working, but it did not help, so I tried a system restore to one day before the problem).
Microsoft security essentials, mcafee safe search on chrome, malwarebytes free version which I had not run in months. Ran after games stopped working: No viruses detected.
HPx20led monitor, new. Computer fills all requirements for the game. I made no changes, no updates, didn't even run an antivirus scan for about a week before the game stopped working.
I did receive a steam update just prior to the "non response", though. From the output log it appears to be a conflict between Directx9 and 11, (reads: failed to create D3D11 device...), but there is no way that I can find to disable ver. 11, other than adding -force-d3d9 to advanced Viridi launch preferences, which I did, but that didn't help either.
I deleted the steam dll, file, no change. Deleted the appcache, no change. Changed my screen resolution, disabled visual effects and aero (before initial steam installation), ran steam and viridi as admin, restarted my computer about a million times, ran computer in safe mode, uninstalled and reinstalled Viridi, nothing makes Viridi work. I can't even remember all the things I tried.
I read about changing the directx registry in my program files as a possible fix but I'm not a programmer so don't want to take the chance. I also lost the ability to play "Teddy floppy ears" and "the plan", 3d games seem to not work. I haven't tried second life in years and don't want to test it. 2d games seem to work OK.
Viridi never worked quite right; it only worked properly between 8pm and 11pm in the evening; the rest of the time the contents of the pot were black, but I could live with that. I wrote support about that and received no answer over a month ago. I also wrote them about a problem with wallet but received no answer to that, either. It gets frustrating.
Latest Viridi output log reads:

Just to start off....only 1 GB of RAM ? Really ?
And Mcafee is on this list. I suggest you start with that possibility first.

I will read through the rest of this now also....
EDIT..I assume these games are supported in Vista, then ?
Can you post some games that you have this issue with ?
And this also... geforce7300
You should consider an upgrade for sure.
Forgive me if I missed that in your post above.
Also running ad-block on chrome, which should not interfere with steam, and never did during the month I did have Viridi.
I also tried shutting down all windows and browser before starting steam, that did not help, either.
I am already running steam in compatability mode for XP SP2, and always was.
Go to the game's .exe file, right click it, then "properties" then the compatability tab. Use the options there in the drop menu. You should see older versions of Windows, but don't go back past XP, as the games minimum OS requirement is XP.
Go to control panel and take screenshots of all your installed programs on that computer. Post those here. You can use this site if you wish unless you know that already... imgur.com

We may have to start all over here considering all the other changes you have made trying to troubleshoot this, but we will see.
After you reboot, do this exactly as said for that game..
