Hello,

 

When I launch Dead Space, I get an error that says "A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (5024)."

 

How can I fix this?

 

System: Windows 7 64-bit

 

Thanks.

Are you using Process Explorer?

 

Try a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
