Just repurchased game, patch loading troubles

IMHO DW detects itself by registry. So it might be problem with registry access rights. Try regmon and filemon utility to see what the patch tries to do and what fails.
My bet is it's gonna be reading from registry of something like HKCR/software/Dangerous waters ..

mine is in X86 with no problems..might have something to do with "administrator rights"..
right click your desktop DW icon,,,properties,security..and see if administrators have all rights enabled...

don,t know if this is the cause....
when you run the patch..run as administrator also...
