I've applied this fix manually since the link is down. Still nothing. I dont understand. I only began having this problem after reinstalling windows. Any help?

ok

Lol no problem, glad you got it :P

@Shadow Dude! You are awesome. I cannot thank you enough. You just saved my $20.00. Thanks for all the help, and I learned along the way (I read up on filepaths). Just, wow. Thanks. Anyone who sees this comment, Shadow is your guy to go if your having problems. Thank you!

@DJross898
DataDir and AppDir try to find an Electronic Arts folder and there simply isn't one (Folder A and this part only applies if you're using the Steam version) instead the file path would most likely look something like this

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spore\Data

For DataDir

I really, really urge you to learn what a file path is, if you do that then you will be able to easily understand why it is you're still getting the 1004 error

If you right click on Spore in your library and go to properties > local files > browse local files and look at the heading of the window, that is the path that you need to put in the registry and just tack \Data to the end of it

I bought this game like 2 months ago and hadn't been able to fix it. I got a new computer and still nothing. I found your guide and it was the most well explained guid i saw. I can now play Spore, THANKS!

Oh, interesting. I followed the guide on your profile, and I did all the regedit stuff. Now I am only getting error code 1004.

Might be your internet then

It just says when I attempt to download it "SporeRegFixforSTEAM.zip couldn't be downloaded".
