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

That file is in both
C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\WBEM\
and
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM\

I wonder if the dll file is accessing the wrong file.

When you register a file it writes itself to the registry, which would explain why the game works after you restore the registry.

LolosArt:
Whenever I try to rename Fastprox.dll in both SYSWOW64 or SYSTEM32 folder I get message: You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file.

I've tried changing the permission settings but haven't been able to. I don't know how to.

Shane:
OK then try this. Lets make sure it is the WMI repair that is causing it.

Restore the registry again. Then run the repairs but skip the Repair WMI.

Let me know how it goes. If this does work then the trick maybe for me to have the syswow64 folder register before the system32 folder.

LolosArt:
My friend you are a genius. Everything is now working as it should.
Thank you very much for your help!
I will make sure to donate a lil' something to you.

Also, check out my work at www.LolosArt.com and I can send you a high res file or two of your favorite pieces.

Thank you,
Lolo

Shane:
Good to hear :-)

Ok so the Fastprox.dll was the problem, and when that file got registered it wrote itself to registry, which much have changed something.

In the next update I will have the syswow64 fold register first and then the system32 folder register after it. Right now it does system32 first. Then we can see how that does. :wink:

Out of all the files that are in both folders this is the first time I have ever seen a problem with registering a file, if the swapping doesnt work I may just need to have that file skipped.
