For us that cannot access those boards (work has banned Sony sites....go figure) could you give us a pasted or summary?

Launch Pad is a separate proggy to PlanetSide isnt it?

Should be reinstalling that.

If you really wanna be safe:

- Uninstall PlanetSide and LaunchPad.
- Delete any remaining folders and files relevant to PlanetSide and the LaunchPad.
- If you feel confident that you know what not to poke at, load up regedit and search PlanetSide, then LaunchPad. Delete you find that was obviously put there by PS or the LaunchPad, if you aren't sure. Leave it.

My launch pad is fuxored...

Hexen: I did all that except for:

What does that mean, the thign is, I do not install anything new or downlaod anything yet it just stops working, WTF....

Help is appreciated, for those who can'#t see basically my launcher always gives me "planetside launcher.exe has encountered a problem and will now close, we are sorry for the inconveniance"...you kjnow, that windows XP error message, the only time I can play PS is by installing and launching after install, but I ain't gonna do that 10 times a day lol....

Help...

[Hexen]

Yeah, standard XP crash message. :P

Well I guess if you dunno how to do registry editting, you probably shouldn't touch it. It isn't that hard, its just that you can really fux something if you delete something that you shouldn't while doing it.

Assuming you're uninstalling thru add/remove programs in control panel rather than just straight out deleting the folders, the registry should lose all PlanetSide-related crap anyway.

Mebbe you got a virus?

Do a scan.

[Intruder]

Did you run a virus checker on the computer, also did you check your harddrive for errors? Usually when a program failes to work the next time after install something must be corrupting it.

[NightWalker XI]

Well:

I use add/remove then manually delete all remaining files....

I dunno if I got a virus, thats a good point, I haven't scanned in a while, gonna do that now.

Also, my computer gives me an error message each time I turn it on, its the erro message from XP, but this time its a file called BEPI.exe

I fixed it by doing a system resotre to a date before it was happening but now its happening again...

[Hexen]

Well I dunno what BEPI.exe is, but if its crashing you might as well take it off startup.

If you dunno how to do that, well here ya go:

- Go to Start --> Run
- Run "msconfig"
- Click the Startup tab
- Extend the "Command" column so you can see the end filename, and look for your BEPI.exe
- When you find it, untick it's respective box so it won't start when windows loads up.

Worth a try.

[NightWalker XI]

Well I jsut found out my Norton has expired...lol

Oh well any free Virus scanners?

I alsu used spybot cause I hadn't in a while and my PC was litered with spyware...argh, damn websites

[NightWalker XI]

Ok I took off BEPI.exe like you said thanks, my friend told me its somethign related to screensaves so I guess its useless anyway cause I don't use screensaver...

I jsut need to scan for virus now, eliminate them and then reinstall PS and hope for the best...

I got this a while ago too but all I did to fix it was do a system restore but I already did that the other day again and it didn't work....damn

Iam such an unlucky bastard

[Hexen]

Yup, you are.

If everything fails btw, theres always the happy format. :P

[Intruder]

Also run a chkdsk if you get a chance make sure you dont have any bad sectors that XP keeps installing the game on (it has a tendency to do that)

[NightWalker XI]

BTW my Trillian won't launch either...this is so screwed....

So tis somethin thats screwing with my launchers....bleh...

[NightWalker XI]

Hmm...apparently I have a virus in most of my files called "W32.pinfi" can sumoen shed sum light on thsi virus and how to fix without formating, Norton seems to not repair it...

[Kaltagesta]

i had that problem.

you have done http://launchpad.station.sony.com right?
