Playing games works fine, I hope someoen can help me out.

File access denied means something is preventing GameMaker from accessing files, check your anti-virus or permission settings. Does this happen even if you run as admin?

[BearFrenzy]

I checked everything you said, my anti-virus accepts it, but for some reason, i cannot access my firewall settings, and yes, it even happens when i run it as admin.

[Mo_oN-POSER]

allright solved the issue. I hope it works for you as well. Do the following
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click Environment variables.
Click New to add a new User variable.
name LOCALAPPDATA
value %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data
Then press ok and u should be fine
Hope this helps
actually you shouldnt need to do this if u have win7 but well it seems you do ^^

[BearFrenzy]

Well i kinda already did a factory reset on my computer, and now it works for me ^^. Kind of a radical solution, but it works XD

Although this is very old I've recently come across the same issue with GameMaker 8.1. I ended up having to uninstall GameMaker 8.1. Delete the Registry entries HKLM > Software > Gamemaker. Delete each entry under the HKU > *Each User Profile* > Software > GameMaker. Delete the Folder for the license located at C:\ProgramData\Game Maker. Reinstalled the Software and License again and everything was working after that.

I have never seen this have you looked at the games files just go to what the directory was and search to see if you have edited very major files.Or you may have probably the unofficial steam one that the makers put on their website and simply added the software on your steam library you can tell if it you did it by opening your library and see if gamemaker is in ALL GAMES (when it should be in ALL SOFTWARE).

I did all of the steps and it didn't help me at all :/. Anything else that someone can think of?
