    Microsoft released a security patch in September, KB3086255, that affects the secdrv.sys driver, needed for the SafeDisk copy protection system. Try to re-enable the service when running MTW, as described in the update link.

    Ok.I did this.Where it say to do this.

    o enable the driver's service (and to set it to automatic), type the following command: sc config secdrv start=auto

    I did this.Where it says to do this.I set it to 2.



    • Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
    • Locate and then click the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\secdrv
    • Right-click Start, and then click Modify.
    • In the Value data box, do one of the following:
      • Type 4 to disable the driver's service, and then click OK.
      • Type 3 to set the driver's service to manual, and then click OK.
      • Type 2 to set the driver's service to automatic, and then click OK.

    • Exit Registry Editor.


    Nothing is happening and I might not be seeing the game in the registry.

    Hi Age

    Have you tried installing the Steam version of MTW?

    That might be your best option.

    Best regards

    I could but I would rather hold off on buying it from steam since I do have the game.I posted this over on the TW forums to see if CA can do anything about it.
