Win7/64 Bit After Trying Everything On Forums Still Stuck On Map Screen


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have been in these forums since yesterday trying to get my win7/64bit system working, worked great on xp.

did fresh install, with all the admin rights etc, admin set before install. patches work great, game loads, megan is friendly as always, and she hasn't aged in 10 years (wish I could say that about me :P)

I can see my toons, select, then it goes to the beautiful purple map page, and gets stuck. I window out and it sez that its not responding.

I have tried all the different config sizes, and window mode etc. I have my virus software, ok'n net7, (virus software same stuff i've been using for years even when i played back in 02-04.

Have tried going from wireless to cable.

All the .exe files are set for admin, and win xp 2.

Anything that I missed, we would really like to play again, last time we played was on our old systems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Marinka---Orion server :)

Make sure you right click the config program and explicitly choose run as admin, as stated in another thread here last night, Win7/Vista block changes to your registry on a normal user (which you are unless you explicitly do this, presumably to prevent some virus activity). The registry is where this data is stored when you config the game, so if not run as admin it's just going into the nether.

Firewall?
If its stuck on the MAP/gating screen means, Proxy (underlying Net-7 Proxy) can't connect to the (sector) server.

In the tray (task bar, right) is a little icon - thats the proxy. Hover with the mouse over it, it should say "Login" after you logged on to the character screen.

After you select your character and hit "play" (or what the button is called) hover again over the icon, should say something like "Stage 1 completed" at a point and switch to "Fully logged in".
If not, right-click the icon, choose "exit".

Start the Net-7 Launcher again, go top menue "HELP" and choose "Show Error Log".

Thanks guys, I've been working on this like I said for two days, Config is set right, Now I kept looking at little box, and it actually loaded this morning. we'll see if it fixed itself. I'm going to paste the log here that came up, it was a reg error. but I think this was from the first try at installing. Since the time stamp is so early and when I finished the 2nd install it would have been around 8pm pac time. I'm going to play around in game for a few, and if all goes well, will try and get my daughters win7 puter up and running so she can play too :)
Thanks again :) Marinka

Hi Marinka !

Exactly what Kyp earlier said was the problem: No registry access.

Well, it did work until I got booted, and then I couldn't log back in again, the map stuck. The little icon, said login, never did the stages (i watched it LOL) i finally did get back in by restarting computer, and running system mechanic (it came up with 1 reg error) fixed that then tried to get back in again, still stuck at map, so checked to see if there was an error log, nothing there.

I went back into all the files to see if they changed from admin or winxp2 and they are all ok.

So cleared dns, then went back in tried again, still stuck at map. exit out of little icon, restar net7 again, got into select toons, and figured i'd rotate tunes, then hit back to megan, then rotate toons again, and then select toon, lol.. wew

well i'm back in LOL, I don't know what is changing or hanging. Can't figure it out. So as long as the "happy" dance works I won't be too upset hehe.

thanks so much for helping, I have the other two laptops up and running, but told them don't go to desk top right now, go play :)

Withuot knowing any details, but this sounds much like a unclean windows setup, borked network or even virus.
Something along these lines.

If something is missing setup-wise the game wouldnt start. Not "sometimes" or a "little" - a or b.
