I've used a method and it works perfectly without ever having to look into it.
It doesn't require any drivers, downloads and what not.
Here's how:
1. Go to your root RMXP directory. C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterbrain\RPGXP\
2. Right click RPGXP.exe and choose "Properties".
3. In the "Properties" popup, go to the "Compatibility" tab.
4. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"
5. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator".
6. If you cannot check the box mentioned in step 5, follow steps 7 through 11.
7. Click on the button that says "Show settings for all users".
8. Click the "OK" button on the "Windows needs your permission to continue" button, after inputting the password of the specified administrator if necessary.
9. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"
10. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator".
11. Click the "OK" button.
12. Click the "OK" button.
13. Right click PSIKey.dll and choose "Properties".
14. In the "Properties" popup, go to the "Security" tab.
15. Click on the "Advanced" button.
16. Highlight the permission entry that says "Users ([your computer's name]\Users)" where [your computer's name] is whatever you named your computer.
17. Click the "Edit..." button.
18. Highlight the group "Users ([your computer's name]\Users)".
19. In the popup that appears (It should be named "Permission Entry for PSIKey.dll", check the "Allow" box for the option "Full Control".
20. All of the "Allow" boxes below the box you just checked should now be checked as well.
21. Click the "OK" Button.
22. Check the box that says "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parents".
23. Click the "OK" button.
24. Click the "OK" Button.
25. Click the "OK" Button.
26. Run RPG Maker XP, and you should no longer get any error messages!
27. If you still get the error message, log into the administrative account on the computer (With the owner's permission) and then run RPG Maker XP.
It should work no matter what on that account, after you have successfully completed the above steps.
Have fun playing and creating your own games! :D
