After I installed a new hard drive the game wouldn't load giving an error code of 0xc0000022, I found this fix that sorted it out.

Thanks to cboath11 on the Steamcommunity.com forum for the advice.

From what I have read this will work for Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.

Open Control Panel

Click on Programs and Features.

Upper Left click "Turn Windows Features On or Off".

When the list populates find Legacy Components, you might have to scroll down.

Click the tiny PLUS to the left of Legacy Components.

There is Direct Play item in there and make sure it is CHECKED. Click OK.

Windows will have to configure itself and follow the directions to reboot.

:idea:

Good info! I will be moving to Windows 10 on the new computer. Saving this one!

Sounds to me like an incomplete O/S

Save your self a lot of head scraching mo,
and get a version win7 64 bit sp1 it will be quicker then win 10 and its tried and tested not like Windows 10, which was never beta tested by microsoft, but by the good company folks whom changed over to win 10 ,thats why it was "Free", and of course its has a higher number Smile

much like having a go fast line on your car, its does nothing to help the car but looks good,
And now for "Cortana" which can take up to 75 % of system, which has little to do with the running of win10 more to monitor your keyboard and actions on the web and personal data on line and off line. bless the agency's hand in hand with microsoft,
I would give windows 10 another year at least before even trying it out, by that time it could be running as good as windows 7 64 bit pro we hope, but that all depends on mircosoft pulling there finger out "pop" and correcting all the failings that are included in Win10, Including "Cortana".
