pizzag Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I rebuilt my vista ultimate and installed it. after that i installed the new painkiller overdose games and when i ran it it said parental controls do not allow you to run this game. so i rebuilt it and left the parental control in and reinstalled. set up the parental control to let me run any game and i still get the same message. Any help on this would be great.

nuhi Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Weird that you mention that. Other user reported the same with the new Settlers. And I tried it at my friends place who uses vLite and it runs fine.So it's something else.Try keeping Game Explorer and MS HTML Engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) I always keep MS HTML Engine so cant be that, but i did remove Game Explorer, hmmmm Edited November 8, 2007 by legolash2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzag Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 ok, i rebuilt again keeping game explorer and parental controls and i get the same error. also, when the game finishes installing it says error registering with game explorer. i know it's not the game cause i don't rebuild vista and it works fine under admin account without any messing. i create another account and set it up to play the game and i still get the same error and can't even install the game. what option do i need to leave intact to run the game with credentials for windows xp sp2? thanks much for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) I managed to get Settlers 6 working, i did get a dwmapi.dll error at first but just i copied a new one into the SysWOW64 folder as it was already present in the System32 one.So its one of these;# Games #Game ExplorerInbox GamesPremium Inbox Games;# Services #Error Reporting;# System #BitLocker Drive Encryption Edited November 9, 2007 by legolash2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzag Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 do you think you could send me a copy of that file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) im guessing u get that missing file error?System32\dwmapi.dll goes in system32SysWOW64\dwmapi.dll goes in syswow64just incase you was wondering, also no need to overwrite the file, i added both incase u need them both but i only needed syswow64.

nuhi Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 pizzag, wait for a new version, it has a lot of stuff fixed, this might be one of it.Since I never had this issue I can't guarantee it but it's best to wait.Out on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
