Blockland shows no sign of starting up.

[GunnaBoyEB]

I've asked this question once for a friend of mine who is dyslexic and cannot type very well and never received a solution.

My problem here is this: When I click the blockland.exe shortcut, nothing happens. No processes or tasks are opened.

The times vary, but when I reinstall Blockland over the current folder, it works for a few times then it will just stop.
Sometimes it will work for a few days, sometimes it will work for a few hours. It varies.

Now I am unsure what is wrong with this but I've read things on W7 User privileges. I am the only user on this PC and I am an Admin.

I've updated drivers as well. I am not computer illiterate and I have done some Google/forum searching on this problem and have come up to no avail. Any constructive help is appreciated.

Is UAC off? Did you install it to C:\ instead of C:\Program Files (x86)?

[GunnaBoyEB]

UAC is Off and I did install it to C:\ no C:\Program Files (x86)\

Is UAC off?

First thing that came to my head.... Check that it is.... Even if it says it is, try right click - run as administrator.


After contemplating it a bit more, I think it may be some live protection (firewall/process guard) have you tried running it while active components are disabled or while you have an exception set up. I know my firewall can block some processes accessing my display driver and then they won't launch correctly.
Just a thought.

Agreed.

I don't have an AV or a firewall other than Windows Firewall. Blockland.exe is an exception both public and private. So I do not believe it is that. Now I will say that I do see a lock icon on the Blockland folder. It has something to do  with the file sharing abilities I do believe. I'm not sure though. It was just a thought and it is the only visible change I can see in the files themselves.

UAC is off I checked it.
Heres proof.

Happens with me sometimes, but not much, usually when I just get back from the computer being on Standby.

[GunnaBoyEB]

Well my PC doesn't go into Standby, so that isn't the problem.

Not used 7, but that lock sounds like it may be installed for a certain user? Did you install it on a different user account?

[GunnaBoyEB]

First post says I am the only user on the PC. This is MY personal computer. There are no others on this PC.

Ah - Sorry... Didn't read it properly. Someone who has W7 would be better to answer this question - I have run out of ideas.

[GunnaBoyEB]

Bump due to unresolved issues. Any one have any answers?

[Killer2]

Right-click the folder and select Properties. And show us whats in it.

[GunnaBoyEB]

Well you see, I have gotten it to work for now. I just reinstalled over the current installation.

But here is what you requested:



Notice the lock on the corner of the folder Icon?

Bump due to not being resolved. Any ideas anyone?
