[SOLVED] SMP Client won't run

**TheMatt** · 02-02-2008, 09:15 AM

Hi guys, I am a bit puzzled by the behavior of my SMP client. Today when I got up I noticed it wasn't running. When I clicked the startup link from the start menu, it opened for a split second but then closed again as if it crashed. I tried every flag I know from the Run... box and tried double-clicking on the executable in the Program Files folder but it didn't get it running. It was working fine the other day, and to make matters worse somehow my System Restore got turned off.

Any idea how to fix this?

Matt - same thing happened to me. It's now out of date - you need to download a fresh version. When installing it will uninstall the previous version for you. And it continued with my current WU, only faster.

Thanks, I will try that out.

It worked, but unfortunately my WU wasn't imported even after copying the work folder. Oh well, at least I am up and folding now.

Thanks again.
