Istv4n Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Just out of nowhere, I cannot open launchbox anymore (along with BigBox). I tried re-installing previous .exe versions through my updates folder - nothing. Tried re downloading it from the site - nothing. I took the launchbox folder and saved it to my external hardrive and instaling a fresh version - nothing. Tried downloading Netframe once again, nothing I dont know what happened, I deleted some games shut off my system and this morning Launchbox is dead?! I dont get what happened or how even installing a fresh copy wont do the trick any help appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123kyran123 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 You aren't the only one. I'm having the exact same issue. Launchbox doesn't start whatsoever. I didn't even remove any games or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I don't have any answers on this problem, especially if it just stopped for no apparent reason. I'll tag @Jason Carr in hopes that he has an answer for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) try right clicking the exe , select properties, and see if there is an Unblock button to click. edit: you might also try disabling windows firewall/defender and any other AV software just to see if it works with them off.

neil9000 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Are you two using any antivirus that may have quarantined the program, and therefore stopped it from launching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istv4n Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 thanks everyone for the feed back I tried everything, permissions, antivirus, even tried screwing around with the registry, truly no clue what went wrong i fixed it by doing a system restore to the last known point where I knew it was working, hope this doesnt happen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Here's the general best troubleshooting process: Reboot. Back up your LaunchBox\Data folder and then remove it. See if LaunchBox starts up. If it does, then something got corrupted with your data. I am more than willing to examine a data folder to see what might have happened to prevent it in the future, if you zip it up and PM it to me. If it's still not working then it's likely a crappy anti-virus solution that is blocking it. I've also seen corporations block unknown applications from all computers on their network, so that is also a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
