So I just got this new laptop with vista, got all my decal and LT stuff figured out (I think) and I can get all the way up to the login screen with decal running. THen, I just get stuck on the entering world screen, and I never enter portal space. Without decal, I can log in. Here's an export.

Disable all plugins in decal agent and enter the game with one on only, then the next to find out if one of the pligins is causing it.

It's the lifetank. ANyone know why I wouldn't be able to enter the world with lifetank running?

I have NO Knowledge about LTx or LT.


but my GUESS is that possibly it is using some .net 1 or 1.1 service pack code that you don't have installed.


AND no having 2 or 2.1+updates will not help the situation. programs built/using/compiled against a particular .net framework NEED that version of framework installed. upgrading from 1 to 2 won't help an old program built against 1 run. specially if you assume, well i've upgraded to 2 can remove 1 now.


which is why as you continue to run old programs, add new programs you will see computers with .net 1, 2, 3 and 3.5 installed.

Thanks agnari, but it looks like 2.0 is required to run LifeTank, and thats what I got. Any other ideas anyone??

Lifetank is written in VB6. It does not require .net.

interesting... are there any vista incompatabilities that I have to watch out for with Ltank???

I have a little bitof new information regarding this problem. So, if I'm patient enough, after about two minutes, I do finally enter portal space. I log it at my mansion, and I get far enough in so that I can see other characters, and see their chat, but my inventory is still loading, and my guy is just purple bubbles. After like thirty seconds of that, I lose connectivity and get booted. Any new ideas given this info??

Strange...

Top of head questions

- directly connected to your internet or router?
- firewall?

Sometimes with my bizarre setup when I need to connect the laptop, I have to lower my desktops firewall's mode a little bit so the laptop can successfully connect. (it involves ICS and a wireless dongle its not pretty but it works)
