I have been on a website brought an old game an having problems with the Installer, the website is Gamersgate, I have seen two Error messages one was :

Error 87: The parameter is incorrect.

and the other was :

This service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

The game trying to be installed is Actua Golf 2 and system Is Win Xp service pack 3

Thanks for any advice you maybe able to provide.

Dear Pieter,

This helps for me only one time, when I change the Regional and Language settings to English from Dutch (or visaversa), everything works fine.. But after some time all the proubles come back. I’ve only got a Dutch version of server 2008, might that be the problem? Could you please help me on this…

Best Regards and many thanks in advance!

We have had the same on Windows 2008 Terminal Server. Here you get access denied on users when the administrator wants to look at Eventlog, he can not see the log, he get error message that the service is not started, but it is. We were with the same solution proposed remedying that, so thanks for this great input.
