What is the error?
Does the game have a hack protection system?
Are you attaching the debugger to the process?

It is not giving me an error code it just pops up a window that says "error opening the process". If I try to attach the debugger to the process before opening the process it asks if "I am sure if I want to attach the debugger and not just open the process". I click yes and it says "the thread that was supposed to attach the debugger failed".

I read somewhere that you have to have windows xp pro and not windows xp home, is that true? If so that could be my problem. I am getting a new computer soon and that will fix the problem if that is the case.

I have tried a couple of different sites and various games that I am sure do not have a hack protection so I am positive that that is not the problem.

Make sure to run a administrator
And change the rights for the administrator so that it can debug and open processes in your configuration. Could be home sucks so much it doesn't even allow administrators to do everything

also, easiest way to test if it's a hack protection or not: See if you can do the tutorial

I think my problem is that I am running windows xp home because it doesn't even have the option to allow the administrator to debug or open processes. Rolling Eyes I will be getting a new computer soon and will be running xp pro so hopefully I will be able to utilize cheat engine then.
