Cheat Engine

Hello

I have a problem with CE (6.1). I am trying to use it on a game (which I used CE on, before).

I run the game, I start CE 6.1 and I select the process (window list). After I double click the process I receive the error "Error while opening this process".
I have to mention few things:
- I used the same version of CE before;
- a friend of mine is using the same version which is annoying me right now..
- I noticed that when it worked, the process was like 00000384 - GAMENAME and now is 00000000 - GAMENAME .
- I am using win 7 ultimate 64 bit - so it's not because of the version, my friend is using the same.
- my firewall is OFF
- my anti-virus is DISABLED
- I tried with that "kernel thing" from edit-> settings -> extra (I rebooted as it said , I pressed F8 and enabled what it asked for, after I done that, that error was fixed but it was the same 0000000-GAMENAME and when I tried to search for an address it took just too long and I stopped it, this thing never happened before, it was taking maximum 3-4 secs/scan, and I am scanning now for the same values)
- I ran it with administrator rights, both GAME and CE.

I am asking for help after I have tried everything which came to my mind.
Please come with a solution Sad

Try this Settings and try opening process from menu bar.

It is not working. It's the same (GAME - 00000000)

Launch the processwatcher before opening the game
Then use the processwatcher window to open it

So the "process watcher" would be Task Manager.

But I do not know how to start CE via Task Manager.

edit: I did it with the browse thing (I opened CE via Task Manager) but it is still the same.

I think I know why. I reinstalled my windows and I left the game on disk D (it doesn't appear on uninstall/remove programs)
I will try now.

I do not have process watch button.
I am reinstalling the game atm, I hope it will work.

edit: I have no process watch button and it doesn't work even with the game re-installed.
What do I do now?

If I try with "open file button" and I select the game executable (see the pic)

use the software called 'unlocker' its freeware it is ~1mb.

It is used for check which process is using the file.
Try opening 'cabal.exe' in unlocker and find out which process is using this file.

I thought it's obviously that CE is using the file (game). I went to "Open file" in CE, then I tried to run the game, and the error appeared.

if you go to settngs->extra you can enable the use of the processwatcher

also, reinstall the game, by using open file you have most likely caused a change to the file

And does the taskmanager do show a valid processid?
If so, rightclick the processlist, convert the processid from integer to hexadecimal, and fill that in

I have found out that some "hackers" (dunno how to call them) did some special launcher that can bypass the game's gameguard and you can load it with cheat engine.

Sorry for wasting your time but few months ago that launcher wasn't needed and I thought I did something wrong.

Thx a lot for your help.
