as the subject says i start the game up

((been playing and working properly for almost a week and now it wont))

the downloader//updater starts me off and that usually cancels itself off instantly or sometimes after 2-3 seconds.. 2ndly if i am fast enough i cancel that

((what ive done in the past to get the game to continue through.. prior to today the downloader//updater would sit there for a hour and have done nothing..))

then the i guess connection box shows up to start the client but then the program just craps out on me and ""the program isnt responding force close the program or wait""

i have vista ive played the game in the past my firewall is already letting the game through and now its killing me here

side notes~~ auto loggon is checked and remember my info is checked IF that has anything to do with my sitation

Vista is crap, so my first advice would be to get rid of it. (Get XP, 7, or Linux.) (Ladder is free, but lacks the support you get for mac/windows due to it not being owned by some company, and is instead developed by nerds like us.)

I ran DS on my Vista (HP Entertainment) Laptop, with only the same bugs my 7 desktop is getting, so you probably have a bad install. I would recomend you reinstall DS and see if that solves your problem, if not then perhaps contact a mod to check for bugs.

1) Run as administrator.
2) Remove, and re-add DarkSpaceClient.exe, GCQL.exe as well as the update executables in the DarkSpace directory, to your firewall.

Sounds as if your machine is stopping DarkSpace from communicating.

A recent update might have messed up DS with vista.

Been playing on the desktop for a while, problably stopped before an update.
