when i first downloaded and installed trueSpace a few days ago it seemed to run perfectly. Then i closed the program. I could never get it to work again. I would click on the the trueSpace icon on my desktop, or from programs list or where ever and the same thing would happen: the TrueSpace logo box(the butterfly TrueSpace logo image accompanied by text :metaphors of design ; truespace 7.6 ; version 7.6; 1989-2008 Caligari corp) would show up on my screen (to show that the program is loading) but then nothing else would happen. it would just stay like that, but the program itself would never load. I un-ninstalled it and re-downloaded and installed truespace but still get the same result. why is this?

Try running the program using "Run As Administrator" see if that helps.


When uninstalling before a reinstall, be sure to delete the directory too (files changed since installation, such as the context files that define the windows etc for tS are NOT deleted during uninstall, then won't be over-written during install, leaving them intact during this process - if they are the cause of the problem, then the cause will be carried across from the old to new install).


Check the FAQ on deleting these (without a reinstall), they are the ones such as default.ctx etc. Run tS with those deleted.


Let us know if any of that helps!


Thanks!
