I went to use renguard today and I got an "Error: loader couldn't initialize service" message. I deleted renguard, and then re-installed it and still get this message???
how do I fix it?

I am having exactaly the same problem. I'm in the services menu and I see alot of cog icons. A name as short as SVKP doesnt seem to be present. What's the full name that I should be looking for? Do these letters stand for something? The closest thing I've found that is not started is QoS RSVP.

Go to your services menu (start, run, services.msc), and make sure the SVKP service is started.

OK MAJOR problem HERE!!! svkp.sys!!!! This shows up as SPYWARE!
I just did a fresh install, and as soon as I put renguard back on, ALL my spyware scanners light up like a Christmas tree!!!
Long story short, the idiot the owns the machine I play on was stupid enough to install Kazaa, let Yahoo messenger, MSN, AOL aim, and Quicktime, start up automatically on each reboot. While running the default XP firewall (junk), and some stupid AV-Free anti-virus program that couldn't dectect simple trojans like siteno! By the time I noticed real problems it was too late!
Time to grab the copy of Microscope-2000, here comes the Low Level Format, followed by da Penguin and a Debian Format just to be extra sure. Last 2 days were spent screwtinizing and scanning EVERY SINGLE THING that went back into the machine. Renguard being the LAST thing I did, went and installed HKEY_Local_Machine\System\ControllSet Legacy entries for svkp
ALL OVER THE PLACE! Rerouted my image path, ect.....
There is NO SAFE way I can find to GET RID OF THEM ONCE THEY ARE THERE! I can't delete the strings, values, and/or keys, I can't modify them, I can't modify the binary data. The ONLY thing I could do was take ownership of them!! This crippled the graphics of the machine! Caused the device manager's settings to DISAPPEAR!
NO JOKE! I go to open up the device manager to see what is going on with the drivers ect.. and I'm looking at a BLANK window!?!?
Some security sites list svkp as a hack-tool/root-kit, others list it as W32/Spybot, and Cert.org of all people don't have anything about it on their site about it?!?
The spyware scanners ALL list it as a medium to medium high level threat after scanning. Some network admins have told me to "Beware of this program" forms of it are known to infect computers threw IRC, were it can wait for commands from remote hosts.
If I'm going to keep running renguard, it will probably be from behind a HARDWARE Firewall Running EnJoy 3 with DEEP Packet filtration

Is it irrelevant to mention that this is a known problem?

Google ftw?
General M-13: Renguard creates the file (anti cheat program for C&C Renegade)
EDIT: I Couldn't find this file in my services. 
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

- SVKP.SYS is software that BHS paid a license fee for.
- SVKP.SYS is used by RenGuard to encrypt/protect game.exe from people hacking it.
- SVKP.SYS is on the "blacklist" of several anti-virus because apparently some trojans have been found that also used SVKP to protect themselves (This does not mean that SVKP is a trojan itself, it was merely found to be used for the same purpose that we are using it - to keep prying eyes out of the executable).
- BHS is aware of the issues with SVKP, and RenGuard 1.04 will use a different method to protect its code.
