Microsoft released a security patch in September, KB3086255 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086255), 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.


I found this on another forum seems like MS wants us to get Win 10.Here it isTotal War (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?698423-Total-War-games-will-no-longer-work-at-all)

Hi Age

Have you tried installing the Steam version of MTW?

That might be your best option.

Best regards

I don't own a steam version of the game and my steam account was deleted.

Can't you create new one?

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.

I downloaded MTW Demo and able to load it and play the tutorials.I don't know why I can't load the whole game if I installed it?
