Silver Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I can't get the game to start. I press the exe file and nothing happens. No errors messages. I would love some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Silver; Certainly! You mention that you double-click on the exe, but nothing happens. I make the assumption that you are not using a shortcut, but you have actually navigated to the folder which contains the game? If so, the first thing to try is to right-click on the exe and choose 'Run as Adminstrator.' Let me know if this successfully allows you to run the game, and thanks!

Thanks for the fast answer mate, but yeah. I already have tried running it as an Administrator, also in different compatibilities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yukm5HBDG0g Watch it to know what I mean with nothing.

Legate of Mineta Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Silver; That is bizarre, we have no clue about why it would not work. A few thoughts: Try actually navigating down to the exe itself, it should be in your Program Files, under Academagia. You might try a restart of your computer? Right now, we find it very hard to explain this behavior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legate of Mineta Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Silver; Oh, I meant purely as in navigate down, do not use the shortcut to get there. It's true that should not make any difference...but then again...you should also be able to double click on the exe and see *something*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't do a difference. :/ I guess [Edit: Expletive Deleted] happens. Edit: If I find a solution I will post it. For future reference, also feel free to use some of your Academagic to fix the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Silver; What about permissions on the folder, possibly? Could you check those to make sure you can execute? Also, I suppose a restart did not clear the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I suppose a restart did not clear the issue? No, I wasen't able to make it work by changing permissions. And I suspect its my OS that is the problem. I will try another one, and see if I have any success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegejor Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 It seems the problem is windows 7 related then, or at least something in the files that caused the error. Might I enquire if you have/had the 64-bits versions of windows 7? If so that might be the problem. If not the problem was somewhere on your end as it works fine in the 32-bits version. Perhaps something in the windows setup got changed/altered over time? I experience that quite often as a gamer; I need to reinstall windows every 6 months as windows is so messed up my computer falls apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shin Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have Windows 7 64-bit and the game works fine for me, without any special things being done. I only recently installed the OS, the drivers are up to date, no special issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
