Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty Message Board  

Hello everyone,

Noob here that just created an unlimited profile and cannot get the viking trainer (latest one) to work.

Steps I did:

1. Download the trainer.
2. created an off line cd-key (did this twice)
3. Put the cd-key reg file in the same folder where the trainer is in.
4. Run trainer
5. Received windows (version 7 ultimate) error stating: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.
6. Turned off firewall, closed avg anti virus, and made sure im running in admin mode.
7. Tried running trainer, again same message.

Someone please help, would like to get the achievement for the viking arcade.

Thanks for your help,

Inso

Your Anti-Virus is actively blocking trainer as it thinks it is a virus (check your AV log to confirm this). You will have to do one of 3 things (in order from least extreme to most extreme):

1. Add the trainer to it's exception list. This usually works on well made AVs but not always the case nor all AVs have this option. Proceed to option 2 if this does not work

2. Disable the AV temporarily. This will prevent the AV from doing it's job and not deleting the trainer. You can resume the AV after playing. Sometimes an AV cannot be stopped even if disabled (example includes AVG). If that is the case, you have no choice but option 3

3. Completely uninstall your Anti-Virus. Yes it is extreme, but if the above 2 do not work, this is your only option. An Anti-Virus is seen as the computer's "last line of defense" (similar to the human body's immune system) in a secure computer. Keeping Windows as well as your installed programs up to date and not being stupid with a web browser and downloads are what keep a computer secure. If you still want an AV, Microsoft's Security Essentials is the AV that provides the least compatibility issues with CHU's trainers.

Thanks for the advice.

I will try ur suggestions and post back the results.

So I decided to uninstall avg, and what do u know, the trainer is working!

Thanks for your help, been trying to get this to work for the last hour.

Only issue is i need to re install an anti virus program, any suggestions that are free better than avg?

Thanks,
