yeah that's the one. After I had verified the one from filehippo was safe I just kept using it as it was easier to find then microsofts.

I keep it on my secondary HD now with all my other 'fresh install' files.

since I started using ninite, I got rid of most of those files.

although I should probably go back to it, as sometimes I don't like the newer versions of software...

Plugins aren't loaded until after the game is launched, why do you guys keep telling him to update plugins? He isn't even able to get that far. I can try to troubleshoot via Teamviewer if you want to at some point today, it would be a waste of time to keep performing checklist operations between posts.


My windower crashed. I ran as administrator, still crashed before even loading up. Downloaded Recast, replaced. Started it up and it worked.
That is why I suggested it.

Apologies if it has already been brought up, but the problem is probably the Alienware skinning software I see in your screenshot. Two of my linkshell friends have Alienware laptops and disabling/uninstalling the skin software fixed it for them, it may be worth trying for you.

yeah, it's best to disable all software but what you're running.

personally I go into msconfig and disable a lot of programs from running with windows (and services too). Then again when I get a machine I wipe the thing clean, and I'd never buy an alienware...

good to know that their crapware can cause issues aside from being pointless memory hogs.

I'll chalk that to the memory though.

It's probably not Alienware specifically - AFAIK they use Windowblinds for their appearance mod, which can have issues no matter what PC you put it on. I had issues with it and FFXI when I tried it like 6-7 years ago.
