FIXED - Cannot open game

[LetsPlay2]

I installed PS 1.70 and 1.71 patch

Click on icon and game does not open ?!

What is happening ??

[LetsPlay2]

The install went fine

It is like a registry entry is missing or something.

Click and nothing.

I can open the Autorun dialog box but when I try to click ANY of the links nothing ??

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DXDIAG attached

UPDATE

OK after reinstall, it seems after I install the 1.71 patch is when the game rfuses to load. OK before patch !!

LP,
have you re-downloaded the 1.71 patch and try it again? Sounds like a bad patch file, maybe?

[LetsPlay2]

Nope but I will try now !

Thanks Crash !

[LetsPlay2]

Same result, with patch

Uninstalled game reinstalled game and works fine, WITHOUT patch !

[LetsPlay2]

Maybe Shaun has a different patch ??!!

[LetsPlay2]

Another update :

Decide to try and patch from ground up :

1) installed 1.70 (Works Great)

2) installed patch G (could not find any patches before G) (Works Great)

3) installed patch F (would not open) [&:]

4) uninstalled, reinstalled, Works Great

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! [&:][&:]

Another Update ::

If I can get patch 1.70 b to install I think it might work !!

[LetsPlay2]

UPDATE:

Received 1.70b from Nukester.

Installed and ran fine.

Installed 1.71 patch game will not start.

I am lost now Hopefully Shaun has an answer.

Until then Thanks all and Play Ball !!!!!!!!!!!!!

LP,
XP or Vista?
how many installations of the game do you have installed?

And if you run RegEdit and look under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MATRIX GAMES\PURESIM BASBEALL 2007

you'll find a key called "installed to" that contains the path that Windows expects to find your game installed to. Is it the correct path?

If you only have 1 installation of the game and the "install to" path is correct is RegEdit, then I'm stumped. Hopefully, Shaun will be have some suggestions.

[LetsPlay2]

Just 1 install

I am willing to bet that there is a key or something different in the registry or not there. That line is there and it is pointing to where I have the game "installed to'

The game (1.70) and (1.70b) work great.  just when I install 1.71 then the exe becomes dead. cannot open the game anymore.

I reinstall the 2 and it again is fine !

Strange HUh !!!!!!

[LetsPlay2]

Still no dice !

S O S Help Shaun !!!

I will light the fire and see if he sees it !! [:)]

[LetsPlay2]

UPDATE :

Still no change. However 1.70b is working fine.

[LetsPlay2]

I really want this fixed, but I have a feeling that i am going to have to start over after I do get it fixed !![/align] [/align]Oh well life goes on !![/align]

[LetsPlay2]

OKAY !!

I have not begun to develop other unrelated (could be cause of this problem [&:]) issues.

So I am going to reinstall XP Pro.

I will see what happens then !

Will be in touch !!

[LetsPlay2]

Well lets close this !

reinstalled windows and POOF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1.71 works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I have to start over

Thanks Shaun for your help and now I am ready to go !!
