neil9000 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Just now, liamb2001 said: right ok so thats interesting. Ive actually just backed up all folders from launchbox original, uninstalled it completley installed a fresh launchbox and without importing any info at all have setup a sole emulator Demul with the 50 games. I set it up, downloaded all meta and images etc booted into Big box and guess what ??? Same issue. Looks like its highly likley to be something external to launchbox thats caused it !! Mmm very interesting. Can you do me a favour and delete that new install, and re install a different version from your update folder and see if you get the same effect.

Everything Launchbox needs is in the the Launchbox folder, unless you have specified anything different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liamb2001 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 my updates folder is empty so the only version i have is version 7.10 - i take it you are trying to elimate the relation from version 7.10 and my version of w7 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Also check that you have the latest .net. It comes as default on windows 8 and up, but you may need to physically download it for windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to see if it is your exact version, in this case 7.10, or every version you have on your system, but you only have one, so it's redundant.

Unfortunately not, you could however if you are premium update to the latest beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was fine before it requested I update launchbox the other day I don't actually think it is that honestly, 7.10 is the most recent stable version of the program and has been out for a while now, with no reported issue like this that i am aware of. There have been a few beta's since the official release, but it seems clear to me by reading through this again, that you was always on the official release not beta. So i'm at a bit of a loss, it "did" work, then randomly didn't with no update to the program issued for a few weeks now i think we can safely rule out a launchbox update . The only thing you have stated to me that may apply to this issue is that Windows has updated a bit recently, so that's my only line of enquiry at the moment i'm afraid. Especially as Bigbox "previously" worked just fine. Feel free to fire any other questions at me if you think i can answer them and help with this at all.
