My tablet, running 4.2.2 freezes on start up stating Games app has stopped.

[Android Central Question]

Once the tablet has booted up, I get the message 'unfortunately, Games has stopped' and the screen is locked to this. Pressing the 'OK' prompt merely returns the message on the screen.

This is blocking my access further into the software to attempt to clear this hinderance.

I have tried resets & reboots but to no avail. How do I get around this?

Current Android OS is 4.2.2.

The tablet is a cheapy Chinese jobbie, Tabexpress, that used to run okay but then developed this error. I'd like to see if it can work again before I lob it.
