Homegroup and Windows FW problems solved but now I can't play L4D2

Shane:
OK then it wasn't related to the repairs.

I wonder if all of this is linked to something messed up in the system.

OK so we will do this another way. Go ahead and run the repairs again, when all done and the game wont load I want you to restore the registry for the current user profile only and not the rest of the system.

That will give us the result I am looking for to see if the problem is in the current profile registry or not :-)

Hey Shane,
So now that I have restored the registry for the current user profile only.
I was able to get the network Sharing working and the WinFW is working as well. But the problems with L4D2 and RegCure is now happening in this restored state.

Shane:
Ok good, that means that the problem isnt under the hkey_current_user. So now we know we dont need to check there.

Do other games run fine? And do you get any error messages or anything in the even viewer after you try to run the game?

LolosArt:
All my other games and apps run fine. I havent discovered any problems except for the same 2, RegCure Pro crashes on scan and L4D2 doesn't even launch.

Shane:
Looks like that dll file that is causing the crash is related to WMI.

I found this

--- Quote ---1. Gain ownership of C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\WBEM\FASTPROX.DLL and assign yourself Full control of the file if necessary.
2. Rename FASTPROX.DLL at this location to FASTPROX.DLLOLD

My repair program does register that file during the Repair WMI.

See if renaming that file does the trick for you (Reboot after). I am going to find out exactly what that file is used for.
