My svkp.sys WAS infected. I could not delete it due to write protection. Its size was more than it should have been. It WAS an infected version.

People who have gotten the infected version are the ones who got the Error: failed to initialize service! when trying to start RG.

Norton has added it to its bad list because of that virus that was going around.

Norton gives you the virus found message even after you have deleted or quarantined the svkp.sys file when starting RG because RG uses the svkp.sys and Norton detects that svkp.sys and RG work off eachother to infect your computer.

I have replaced my svkp.sys to get RG working. I got rid of Norton so I don't have to deal with its messages because I personally don't like putting a file used for viruses on a ignore list.

Please try this working AntiVirus freeware if you don't want Norton but don't have any idea what you would get instead.

Please if you have gotten rid of the Norton problem and you are stuck with Error: failed to initialize server! message when starting RG just:

1. Uninstall RG.
2. Put in a clean svkp.sys to c:\windows\system32(attached)
3. Restart computer.
4. Innstall RG.
5. The core update sometimes fails to download and install itself. Download it from http://www.blackhand-studios.org

Also you would wan't the svkp.sys if you have deleted the other one even if your coppy wasn't infected as some were.

Well best of luck to all getting back on RG.


EDIT: Deleted svkp.sys attachment, as I already attached mine several posts ago in this same thread, and I cannot be certain of the integrity of yours. -Blazer
