iDeaS doesn't open, at all.

ImP0steR · May 25th, 2007

No need to explain, read the topic title.

P4 3.2GHz.
ATI Radeon X700 512MB.
1.5GB RAM 533MHz.

Anything else important?

sigmax · May 25th, 2007

Sound Card?

ImP0steR · May 25th, 2007

A built-in one in a ASUS-P5GD2X motherboard.

sigmax · May 25th, 2007

your OS and if you download it from the official page.

ImP0steR · May 25th, 2007

Everything is official and standard, XP Home.
There shouldn't be a reason for iDeaS out of everything to not work.

**Lino** · May 26th, 2007

there are 2 causes for which iDeaS doesn't work or the audio card or the graphics card.

You must get some sort of error message or something?

How to fix this error when you open iDeaS?

extract iDeaS on your Hard Disk and the error won't pop up

ImP0steR · May 26th, 2007

I'm getting nothing and everything is extracted.

SCHUMI-4-EVA · May 26th, 2007

Maybe it's being blocked by a Firewall or something?

lll · May 26th, 2007

Firewalls are for internet safety only(srry to be the one to tell ya). It could be a problem with the file itself. Try dlling it again and tell us more bout the situation.

SCHUMI-4-EVA · May 26th, 2007

I know Firewalls are for internet safety only, however I had ZoneAlarm and it blocked just about every single program on my PC whether it accessed the net or not, it made playing games a pain, because the entire game would be loaded into memory and then suddenly it crashes and says o no sorry it's been blocked. I quickely got rid of that firewall.

ImP0steR · May 27th, 2007

Downloaded countless times, it's not a firewall.

format c:

see if that helps

SCHUMI-4-EVA · May 27th, 2007

XD Bad Advice Hiei-YYH.
Did previous versions work? Or have they all failed to open?

ShakirMole · May 27th, 2007

maybe directx or some files of tht sort missing. I had this problem with other games and when i had reinstalled windows and it worked

ImP0steR · May 27th, 2007

1.0.0.2 seems to work.

SCHUMI-4-EVA · May 27th, 2007

Nothing since then?
Well yeah, then it could be your directX or .Net framework, or VB runtimes or any of your drivers...I aint sure exactly what Lino uses in his programming. Does RascalBoy work? It's kind of hard to tell without an error report....do you know where your admin log is? maybe check what error was reported there?

ImP0steR · May 27th, 2007

Here we go.

Apparently I needed the .NET Framework 3.0 Windows Update fix (I'm pretty sure I had the actualy .NET Framework 3.0 though).

I'm saying apparently because it now works after a list of 16 updates from WU in one go, and .NET Framework seems to only be the one that rings a bell from this topic, definitely not DX.

Well, thanks. Hope it doesn't show up again.

SCHUMI-4-EVA · May 27th, 2007

Not .Net Framework 3...I don't even have that yet, there is however a .Net framework fix for Framework 1 and .Net Framework 2 which I do have.

I am guessing if you have neither that you also have not updated your ATI Catalyst drivers for your X700 in a looooong time or just don't use the Catalyst Control Center version as .Net Framework 2 was required for that.
You really should update those drivers aswell, they won't help with this, but latest drivers are always advised for any games.

Anyways glad to see you fixed it.
