Hello folks,
I'm having problems launching Fofix. Nothing happens after launching the exe. The process appears in task manager but the game never actually comes up. Problem appeared after switching to Windows 7. It worked on Windows XP. I wouldn't even bother asking about it but I saw people posting that they run Fofix just fine in Win7 so perhaps this is fixable.
I've tried compatibility modes, no change.
Any ideas?
Fofix will not launch.

Re: Fofix will not launch.
What happened to not posting issue reports without full logfiles so we actually know what happened?
It's in the forum rules (recently reorganized to make them much more clear) for a reason!

Re: Fofix will not launch.
....I didn't read the rules. /whistles
Anyway, the logfile wouldn't help much. Nothing ever goes there, it stays empty after clicking the exe.
Specs:
Abit IP35-E
C2D E6600
ATI Radeon 4890 or NVidia Geforce GTX 260 <-- both tested, same result
Asus Xonar D2X or SBLive! X-FI XtremeMusic <-- both same
6gb DDR2-800
...what else could be relevant?
I'm trying out the virtual Windows XP now. AFAIK 3d acceleration in virtual machines isn't exactly cakewalk but here's hoping.

Re: Fofix will not launch.
I run FoFiX on Win7 just fine...
If you have FoFiX in your Program Files folder, I would suggest copying your entire FoFiX folder to the desktop or something and seeing if it works from there. I've heard of people having permission issues from Program Files in windows 7 / vista, so maybe it will help.
