Service Initialization Failed (0x0175dcbb)

SOLVED: Well, actually I solved the error by myself. Although I deleted all the Sims-stuff in the Registry, I missed the "Sims" Registryfolder wich is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SIMS/The Sims 3. Now I deleted it and it works like a charm
Thx to katana for the help!


Well, after I reinstalled Sims3 (Basegame) this error shows up wherever I try to start the game. Starting via Launcer didn't work, it says that an error accured. I reinstalled it but deleted all the Sims files (as said in the other thread) in the registry before. Then I tried to patch the game manually, wich produced the same error. If the game is unpatched, it runs fine.
I tried anything but I get always the same error =( (Maybe it is because my game is Arr'd but 6 months ago it worked just fine)
What can I do to fix this?

A crack that worked six months ago isn't going to be compatible after patching the game to a new version.  Find a game crack that is compatible with your most recent patch.

Didn't work =(. I replaced all the exes with the right cracks and the message still appears.

That's why you don't use cracks.

It doesen't start with the original exe either.
