My Friend is having TDU problems..

[zo6dude]

He gets a message saying " A required module cannot be activiated.

This program cannot be executed (9000).

 

Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=9000 for further, more detailed information.

 

Then he gets a balloon saying:

 

 

 

 

TestDriveUnlimited.exe- Corrupt File

 

The file or directory C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Data_DFE\data_dfe_ed3259522d78080059f61e3f29aa3865 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.

 

He really needs help with this and I don't know what to do so please help!!

[Camel]

Reinstall the game?

[zo6dude]

Lost his CD code(or key w/e its called).. I remember there being away to find the CD code(key) in his documents or something?

 

anyone? He is really upset..

[Camel]

The CD key can be found in a text file in his documents folder.

 

And please don't double post.

[Andreas¹]

But if he has already got that file, he shouldn't need to insert the CD Key again.

[zo6dude]

We tried to uninstall and and reinstall it but we still got the same message. Both of us are not very computer smart so I nice explanation how how to fix his probelm would be nice, so I could pass it on to him. Thanks

in advance.

[Sponge]

A reinstall should've fixed that.

 

Try uninstalling again, then deleting the TestDriveUnlimited folder in ..\Program Files\Atari\

 

Then reinstall. If the same problem persists, take a look at the disk, as it may be scratched.

[zo6dude]

It won't let me delete the folder. it says it corrupt. So I deleted everything except this one file thats also corrupt. I'm stumpted lol. any help?

[Sponge]

use the command prompt to run a chkdsk

 

Goto Start/Run (if on XP) or Goto Start then type in "run" then hit enter (if on Vista/Windows 7)

Type "cmd" (without the quotes)

Type "chkdsk" (again, without the quotes)

Wait for it to complete

 

Post whatever it says here, or if it's too long - PM it to myself/anyone else who asks for it.
