ootp5 WONT LOAD AFTER INSTALL - Page 2

dan4christ · 03-27-2003, 06:08 PM

I tried reducing the acceleration..

I also installed directx 9.0 about 3 times

i used Norton Systemworks to view my system...
it said for display 800x600 @ 64 colors..but thats not what my desktop was on..

i looked at the properties of my video card.. through device manager.. and it showed 1200 x768 which is what it needs to be

either norton is wrong .. or i dont have the video card set correctly.. i looked all over for a place to change it .. but every place i saw it was on 1200 x 768

http://www.400softwarestudios.com/bo...threadid=19713 Follow this and reduce the screen res to 1024 x 768 and see if it will open, unless you have tried that also.

dan4christ · 03-28-2003, 12:24 AM

I apologize.. i meant it is set to 1024x768 .. at least i think it is

dan4christ · 04-01-2003, 02:58 PM

help me...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lord_xor · 04-02-2003, 05:51 PM

I have the exact same problem.

I had OOTP4, and I installed OOTP5 and 5 will not start. I get the hourglass for a second then nothing. It won't run.

I checked my elicense in the control panel and it says "none"

I have a GeForce4 4600 with the new 43.45 drivers
DirectX 9a
all latest drivers and no problems elsewhere.

Runs fine on my laptop.

dan4christ · 04-03-2003, 01:41 AM

has anyone given u any ideas on the problem with OOTP5 on your computer?

what kind of computer do u have?
Maybe we have some of the same conflicting software
my aol IM is hispoem20
email is dan4christ@yahoo.com

bfc1978 · 04-04-2003, 11:48 PM

I click on it and it acts as if it wants to open the hourglass goes for like 5 seconds and it shows up in the task bar. It then does nothing. I have run scan disk, and defrag also redownloaded direct x. I may have reformat, that seems to be the only thing i can think of.

I will admit I am very happy with the response form elicence tech support.

ESams · 04-06-2003, 05:19 PM

I'VE GOT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I TRY TO OPEN THE GAME, GET THE HOUR GLASS FOR 5-10 SECONDS, THE GAME SHOWS UP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN LIKE ITS MINIMIZED, BUT NOTHING. THE GAME IS LISTED AS "NOT RESPONDING".

I ABOUT TO GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bfc1978 · 04-06-2003, 11:10 PM

Good news game works again, bad news it took reformatting my machine(which it needed as is). I think most my problems stymied from a web cam h ookup gone bad, as my studio aka winamp also quit working and cam used dfx stuff also.

tcblcommish · 04-06-2003, 11:49 PM

One problem some people have is an anti virus. Did you try shutting that down. Sorry if someone suggested it already

bfc1978 · 04-06-2003, 11:55 PM

Here is everything I tried:
Scan Disk
Defrag
Diagnostic program from above thread
shut off my anti-virus software
closed any programs that may cause a problem
Finally - reformat and it works

As i said It hink the logitech cam i had bought may have left some lingering affects as my winamp stopped working also.

stevensek · 04-08-2003, 07:34 PM

This is now happening to me. I installed the latest Windows XP updates, not sure if that is the problem, but I cant get either ootp4 or 5 to load anymore. I installed, reinstalled several times. I even unistalled Elicense and still nothing. It seems as if my licenses in the elicense control disappeared also.

Steve Kuffrey · 04-08-2003, 07:35 PM

Probably need to contact Via-Tech on this one, http://www.elicense.com

stevensek · 04-08-2003, 07:36 PM

I did! I know this. I was just adding my info to the thread.

Steve Kuffrey · 04-08-2003, 07:38 PM

ok....just making sure.

sokmonkey · 04-09-2003, 05:26 AM

I too am having the same problem, seems to be a xp specific problem. I too have contacted via-tech but am still awaiting a reply. Have they got back to you stevensek?

Thanks,
James

UPDATE:

Well, I fixed mine, see my reply here on that thread on how I fixed mine.

Steve Kuffrey · 04-09-2003, 08:05 AM

Thanks for sharing your solution, I sent it to another user hoping that it will solve his problem as well.

sokmonkey · 04-09-2003, 04:25 PM

No problem, lemme know if it fixes it. If so I can contact via-tech and tell them the fix. (they are less than helpful)

stevensek · 04-10-2003, 05:01 AM

sokmonkey,

Thanks a million! Your solution worked! The service was not running on startup.

Steven

sokmonkey · 04-10-2003, 05:53 AM
