error 429

[Mistero]

Hi,

I bought this game yesterday, but I can’t run it because of 429 error (I got patch 1.70f). It’s not problem only on my computer, I also tried that on brother’s and on notebook: never made it trough the menu.
I search google and even this forum but I didn’t find anything useful.

Can it be some license problem? Some ideas?

So far it was really nice investment, but I hope I'll play it someday - I hear only the best on PureSim. Thanks.

Did you also install patch 1.70b as stated in this thread ?

If the above doesnt help..............

After doing a search on the error on the forums, it seems there were a few people that had a problem with that error. It looks likes in one instance they reinstalled the Microsoft MDAC and it cleaned up the problem. It seems like an active x problem or something along those lines. Do a search for "429" and there are a few threads about it. Sorry thats all I could give you, but Ive never had a problem running this game

Thanks for responding.

I did it wrong before, I patched directly 1.70f. So I tried to reinstall it & use 1.70b/1.70e and THEN 1.70f - didn't work. Same with 1.70b/1.70f.

Can't reinstall (uninstall) MDAC.

Vista or XP ?

I'm on XP.

I had that problem, too. To fix it, I just ran the MDAC install from this page: http://www.macropool.com/en/download/mdac.html. I didn't have to uninstall my current version, and as soon as I did this it worked.
