Shockwave.com games and DRM errors

Has anyone had problems running downloaded shockwave unlimited games once
installed in Vista? I keep getting an error message that says "Shockwave.com
Keyhole DRM" and it shuts down the program. I fixed the problem once before
but I can't remember how I did it, and, since my version of Vista is in
Spanish, trying to figure it out has become difficult.

Anyone with similar issues? Please let me know.

Thanks much,

 

seached the web still no answers to this shockwave.com keyhole drm shut down
- would that be the decoder I had to pay to have downloaded because vista did
not have it - or perhaps another flaw in the great vista world

 

I am having the same problem. My shockwave games worked just fine i
vista till I tried playing a game today. I keep getting keyhole dr
application failed to start. I don't know what to do to correct it.
just know it was working fine and now its not

 

i am having the same exact problem...its frustrating cuz i dont know what to
do either...did you ever figure out what to do to fix it?

 

Well, DRM is digital right management. It's basically saying that it cannot
authenticate you as the rightful owner or as someone having the rights to
play said games. When I hear that error message I think of the DRM
authentication as a literal key/lock. Insert key, if it fits just fine and
the tumblers fall into place then you can unlock the door.

Did you attempt going to www.google.com and putting in the error? That
should be your first step in troubleshooting anything.

 

thank u im going to try that...im not the smartest when it comes to
computers. thanks

 

If you cannot find a solution re-post here and I'll see what I can find out
about it. Where did these flash games come from?

I ended up reformatting my hard drive and it solved the problem. I ca
now play all my shockwave games. I still do not know what caused th
error
