I've upgraded from xp home to vista ultimate. So far all of the software my husband and I use works perfectly except 1 small thing. He plays a stand alone card game (yugioh of all things) that has a game trainer he uses frequently. However, when I tried to run his game trainer, I received this message:

C:\Windows\system32\H@tKeysH@@k.DLL

The only thing I can do is hit OK and begin the game. However, the game trainer ceases to work at all. I've even tried putting it into XP compatibility mode but the trainer just will not work. I'm assuming Windows is blocking access for some reason because of this DLL that it puts into sys32.

The file is clean and I need to use it or he will make me go back to windows XP and I can't return this software to Office Max due to piracy. Anyone know how I can go about continuing using this trainer? All it does is wait for certain keystrokes to activate the trainers functions.

Help?

There are two schools of thought on this file:

1) It is actually a spyware file., a keystroke logger and a (low risk) trojan horse.
2) It's a legitimate file that's used in some TMK games and also your Yugioh game.

It's been around a few years, Trend Micro classifies it as a trojan horse (and deletes it), Norton and AVG ignore it.
But anyway, it looks like Vista security blocks this, or your trainer has compatibility issues as a whole under Vista.

so is there a fix for this? I have all the vista security settings turned off at this time (really annoying for an intermediate user) and it still does not seem to work. As far as support goes for the game trainer, well, it's a cheat program, like anyone would support that! any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance!
