    Service initialization failed (0x0175d824)

    So I have a Dell and I just re-installed my hard drive so that I'd have more room. I uninstalled all my TS3 games (I have all expansion packs) and I re-installed them. I had saved a Save onto a flash drive so that I could continue playing it later (it was late so somehow my foggy mind thought that would work) and needless to say, it didn't. Now I get the error and I don't know what to do. I've removed all custom content so I'm not really sure what's going on.

    Any ideas?
    Oh, I 'm not the most tech-savvy person so please keep explanations simple ^__^'

      Whenever I've seen the error: Service initialization failed (0x0175d824), it usually tells me that your Windows registry has leftover damaged and/or corrupt files. Did you clean the registry after uninstalling to insure your reinstall of the games was a clean one?
