Maybe a corrupt hard drive? If so would a disc clean possibly fix this problem? Many thanks

99.9 percent sure it's the ioboard. Found this from the tech docs

The game displays “MAXX loading” then “invalid key”.
To test whether the I/O board is being detected by the motherboard, turn the game off and put DIP switch 6
(DS6) to the ON position. Turn the game back on. If “Maxx loading” is followed by “invalid key” again,
this would indicate that the motherboard is not detecting the I/O board.

I did not boot to Maxx splash screen this time with dip switch 6 in on position. This time it booted to a merit diagnostic screen that says: performing hard drive re-detect. Please reset all dip switches to reset machine. So I reset dip switch 6 and first comes the FORCE screen then it boots up and opens again to the same Megatouch MAXX loading screen the it says: invalid key error for this version PG3002-01 V12.10!!!. My software is force 2004 v.12.10 and my key is SA3068-14. I don't understand what the problem is. Im already bald and I'm still pulling my hair out. Lol

Make sure all dip switches are up except dip 3 should be down. You should be getting a error detecting I/O board screen during a reboot if your I/O board is not being detected. If you have the 2004 discs i would try doing a fresh install. It cant hurt. Maybe your hardware configuration file is corrupt.

all dip switches set to off except 3, I'm not any I/O board error during boot. I've did a clean install about 6 times but ill try it again. Can I fix my hardware configuration file if it is corrupt?
