Experiencing Vista Problems; Can Anyone help?

Kenryoku's picture
Please pardon me if this is the wrong section, I'm still very new to this site.

I haven't had a problem with TEF until a few days ago when Vista installed some updates and restarted on its own, then TEF suddenly didn't want to open. It's happened before and usually a few hours in sleep mode fixed it for some reason, but after 3 days and a million restarts, it still refuses to start up. All it gives me is a black screen when it opens and eventually says "The program is not responding" and closes down. I did a system restore to before the update and nothing changed, and I even updated to Vista service pack 2 (finally) to see if it would work a bit better, but no dice. :/

Anyone know how to fix this, or am I stuck without TEF until I have money to buy the Windows 7 update disk? Any responses are highly appreciated. (:

I would try right clicking and selecting "Run as administrator".
Hope it helps!

I don't know how to help, but I'll try.

Try right-clicking The Endless Forest and selecting properties.
I have mine pinned to the start menu, so I right-clicked it from there.

I would try and mess with the settings for a while, and definitely make it run as an administrator.
I'm not sure if this will help at all, but definitely try it.

Thank you both for your quick

Thank you both for your quick replies, Vagrant and Ravynn.

I just tried running it as Admin like you both said and played around with the Properties but it got no results. :/

Tried compatibility for XP (SP2), Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 with Run as Administator ticked as well.
