|
|
"DBK Error, The driver couldn't be opened! It's not loading or not responding."
I had no problems with cheat engine before, installed the newest version and didn't uncheck the reset settings accidentally, now when i try to use any of the extra functionality namely "Read/Write Process memory" I always get this error. It's an unmodified fresh install, i have no antivirus, dbk32.sys and dbk64.sys are both located in the cheat engine folder and driver signature verification is disabled. I tried rebooting and unloading multiple times, error stays the same.
I tried using the old version again, but it has the same problem now.
I've spent the past 2 hours googling that error but everyones problem seemed to be antivirus deleting the files, which is simply not the case here.
I have downloaded cheatengine 6.7 from "cheatengine.org"

if one version have error then the second version will have it too, CE share configuration, hotkey, other setting.
i never faced this problem before, but i think uninstalling both versions and re-install latest version will fix it.
give it a try. and post again if your problem solved.

I've tried that multiple times, it didn't fix the problem.
I completely uninstalled all cheat engine versions i had, even removed left over traces and deleted the ce settings in the registry, reboot, reinstalled 6.7 ce version, problem persists.

for the cleanest possible install try this:
run the kernelmodule unloader, reboot, run the kernelmodule unloader, uninstall all ce versions you have installed, reboot, install ce 6.7.
Make sure you download cheat engine from a valid source
Besides that, make sure you don't edit cheat engine, as the driver will not function on modified executables (So don't run any .exe infecting viruses on your system as well)
Do not run tools that hide cheat engine from your system (the driver needs to verify it is a valid CE)
and try installing ce to a different folder

I downloaded cheatengine from cheatendinge.org, should be the official one, i cannot post links though.
I have no intention of hiding or modifying cheat engine as it used to do everything i needed before, without any modification.
I tried installing cheat engine to a usb drive and a newly created folder on the main drive, using your clean install method, problem persists though.

yes i'm sure. Kernelmodule unloader, reboot, again kernelmodule unloader, uninstall, another reboot, reinstall.
Error persists. I'm really at my wits end, elsewise i wouldn't post here. Especially since everything was working fine with 6.5.1 before. Never change a running system, idiot me, shouldn't have updated.

did you change your operating system recently ?
It's also possible that something is 'protecting' you

no, i'm running windows 7 home premium for over a year now.
Is there any standalone pre configured build of cheat engine with memory read/write working and enabled? I'd like to try something like this, just to make sure the installation process is not the culprit.

the download page has a link to a version without installer
i do recommend you also scan gor viruses. the main reason for the driver to not talk is having a modified executable, or something is blocking the driver from talking.

Found the standalone, it's not working either though, same error.
I ran a full kaspersky scan over night yesterday, but it found nothing.
Uninstalled it again afterwards and then reboot, for another installation attempt of cheat engine. But nothing seems to work.

you're sure you haven't put a driver64.dat file in the installation folder ?

ehm, i dont have any experience for such issues.
but i agree with DB, there might be something blocking some CE files to communicate with the system.
anti-virus? virus in windows\system32? or systemWOW64? or maybe you have installed something from windows update recently?
EDIT: maybe one of the module files corrupted?

I didn't change anything in the cheat engine folder.
Just checked and i don't have a driver64.dat file. Well ... should this file be there? I had no errors while installing.
I have not updated any drivers recently before the error occured. I installed a quality rollup from windows updates, but thats about it. Cheat Engine was working properly until i updated to the newest version, what worked 2 minutes ago suddenly didn't work anymore.
Trying to fix this error is even more time consuming than i thought I'm about to give up. So if you have any final even radical advices let me hear it please. (Except for reformat system)

i was gonna suggest reformat.
but try undoing the last patches or a system restore to a few weeks back ?
and you're sure you're not getting any other messages like invalid signature ?
try getting sysinternal dbgview, configure it to capture kernelmode messages, and log what it says when using CE
