Saiyan Elit3 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 So after switching to use the Nostalgia theme my BB would freeze up upon startup. Not really knowing what to do I deleted the theme and tried again but that made it worse. I wasn't even getting the start up video to run. Thinking maybe I could delete the big box settings by deleting the BigBox.exe was a mistake and when I try installing the newest version of launchbox, the big box.exe is still gone. Is there a way to get the .EXE file? Launchbox is still working fine. Im wondering if I can uninstall and install LB/BB but still keep all my games, videos, etc or will I have to set up everything all over again. As you can clearly see im not the best at this kind of stuff and I would greatly appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Check your recycle bin for the exe or redownload the latest installer and reinstall over top of the old folder. Just be careful you don't install in Launchbox\Launchbox, that will make your old stuff not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiyan Elit3 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 I deleted it from the recycle bin when I tried removing the file. When I use the installer it goes through installation with no errors but the bigbox.exe and bigbox.config files are gone. I am currently running launchbox 8.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Try installing LB again to another folder and then copy that BB.exe into your original folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiyan Elit3 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Ok. So that worked to get my bigbox.exe back. But when I launch it, it plays the startup video and then goes all black. Then I'm prompted that Big Box is not responding and I have to kill it through task manager. I've tried a couple times with no avail. Do you think its because the big box settings are somehow still set to the Nostalgia theme even though I deleted it? Also, it is freezing up launchbox everytime I click on the options under the Tools Tab. Edited August 17, 2018 by Jenkins145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
