Hi,
I recently installed RCT2 Triple Thrill Pack on my Windows 8.1 machine.
Couldn't start it at all due to it throwing a 0xc0000022 error message.
I tried running as admin and in all sorts of compatability modes, nothing worked.
Decided to run ProcMon (program that logs what files are accessed) and noticed it tried to run C:\Windows\Syswow64\dxplay.dll, but responded with Access Denied.
Gave my admin account full access to it, but then when trying to run the game, I got another error.
Something about missing a line of code in the dxplay.dll.
I also installed all sorts of DirectX runtimes without any success.
SOLUTION:
Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off -> Checkmark the Legacy Components (DirectPlay).
This finally allowed me to run RCT2 on Windows 8.1.
Hope this can solve other peoples problems aswell.
