trouble running CE

[n00b1n8R]

so I've just had some trouble starting CE :|

Windows XP was re-installed yesterday, but before I did that, I backed up my maps folder to an untouched hard disk.

I reinstalled CE today, and plonked my old maps folder over the new one.

now I get this error when i go to run CE:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/debuggertrouble.jpg

help?that's what I posted at halomaps, they suggested I re-install.

after re-installing, I'm still getting the same problem. I havn't installed halo PC yet if that's relevent.

E: i reinstalled CE, not windows incase anyone was confused.

[Tweek]

unload the debugger and try again

[n00b1n8R]

the trouble is, I have no idea what the "debugger" is :downs:

[Syuusuke]

Are you running any programs with Halo CE? (Try -safemode...)

[n00b1n8R]

does xfire count? I'll try running it without (though it's never caused issues before..)

[Pooky]

turn off Xfail, it probably had another update which fucked something up.

[n00b1n8R]

not xfail (I tried without), but a guy at the halomaps forums suggested this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812759)which I'll try in a minute.

[n00b1n8R]

still not working :gonk:

oh, and I've patched it to 1.07

I don't suppose asking over at gearbox would be a good idea?

[Tweek]

gearbox dont have CE forums anymore :)

[n00b1n8R]

do they have still have PC? I'm getting the same error with that as well.

E: no PC but they do have CE :S

SUPAEDIT: a guy there right now has the exact same error :O!

another edit: your fucking kidding, I can't use my hotmail to register >__>

[Patrickssj6]

Could be a virus...do you have a virus software? BitDefender is partially free now. :awesome:


PS: Warez crack the debugger part. Now count 2+2 together...
If mods find this inappropriate please delete.

[n00b1n8R]

running zone alarm fyi.

also, you woudln't know about anybody making such warez would you? :awesome:
if mods find this inappropriate please delete.

[Patrickssj6]

Since recently it's even illegal to do it yourself.

But I guess you know what your last option is.

Show us the process list...maybe I can compare it to the other one.

[n00b1n8R]

[p0lar_bear]

Fuck the process list. Post and [code] a HijackThis report.

[n00b1n8R]

DL'ing now, report coming shortly.

[n00b1n8R]

well that was fast.

I tried to run CE, got the error, didn't close that window and did the scan:

I miss halo :(

[p0lar_bear]

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG\mdm.exe

Try killing that process. I have it running and can run Halo, but give it a try anyway. If no change in result, re-run it.

e: Also:


C:\Program Files\PC-TV\WinManager\WinManager.exe'

What is that?

[n00b1n8R]

that's the digital TV program, it runs in the background.

halo still didn't work, after killing both of those, so no luck there.

this time I tried to run halo, closed the window and did the scan:

Hmm. I don't see anything rasing a red flag in my head.

Try killing the MSSQL writer.
Try killing your keyboard software.
Try killing ZoneAlarm (temporarily).

[n00b1n8R]

no luck :(

what is this debugger check for anyway/anyone know of an app to tell it to fuck off?

[n00b1n8R]

So dad was stuffing around last night, trying to speed up bootup by disabling some things from loading on startup and he suggested I give halo a go to see if it made any difference.

It fucking well did :D

he dissabled Itunes helper (though the trouble occoured before I installed itunes, so it's not that), QTTask, Adobe reader speed launch, and adobe reader syncroniser. thanks for all your help anyways ;)

I think someone needs to either make a high-res version of that smiley or make it a vector.
