WINERR_Access is denied Error
When starting Links 2003 in Windows 8/10 and you receive the error below:
ERROR : FAILED (0x80070005-WINERR_Access is denied) - CoCreateInstance(IDirectPlayLobby3A)
This generally happens in Windows 8, 8.1 or Windows 10.
- Go into the Windows 8 or 10, click the start button then start typing the word “programs”
- You should see an option for “Programs and Features” – click it to open it up
- When the window opens, in the left menu, click on “Turn Windows Features on or off”
- Scroll down until you see a folder labeled “Legacy Components” and expand it
- Do you see an option for “DirectPlay”? Is it checked? If it’s not checked, check it and click Ok
- Close those windows then try the game once more.
