Did this issue start recently? Did you install anything in between the last time BYOND worked and the first time it stopped working?
|
It sounds like DS is actually crashing based on your report. I'll need those crash details in order to investigate.
| |
Thats just it. It doesn't even give me details it just says windows has encountered a problem running it now i did some more research on the problem. For what ever reason every version before 499 works but nothing after. But as you know the older versions dont run all the games correctly unless there is a fix for that. And no i just started getting involved with byond so the issue has just arisen. Its literally the last thing i installed. Hopefully we can find a solution. I'll try to find a crash report though. Alright so as far as i can tell i ran a compatibility check the program is just completely incompatible for what ever reason on my computer. i can't use it. Thanks thought it was worth a try.

Crash details should be in your Windows event viewer. As far as compatibility, I have trouble believing the program is truly incompatible. If you haven't tried yet however, I suggest reinstalling it as an administrator.
| |
Well i tried to install 500 and 501 as administrator and that didn't work either. No matter how i do it it just turns out incompatible with windows 7 eternity 32 bit. I wish there was an answer for this problem! and i can't find anything on my computer called the event viewer. Theres no record of failure cause the program doesn't run i believe.

Hey i found my event viewer sorry about all the ruckus. Heres the error code i got from there
Faulting application name: dreamseeker.exe, version: 5.0.501.1217, time stamp: 0x5270445d Faulting module name: Flash.ocx, version: 6.0.29.0, time stamp: 0x3cc47d54 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00054564 Faulting process id: 0x1540 Faulting application start time: 0x01ced872136c0cd4 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\BYOND\bin\dreamseeker.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\macromed\flash\Flash.ocx | |
You're running an ancient (and vulnerable) version of Flash. Update it and your problem may go away:
