Hi everyone, I hope there is someone that can help this computer illiterate old lady. I recently had to do a complete wipe of my computer (thank goodness I don't host the shard I co-own) and now I am unable to get my Pandora's Box to work. I have downloaded the pandorasbox3.0.0.5.zip and installed with no issues but when I try to execute the programit keeps freezing on me. When I click the icon it asks which language and I select English then it either says "Creating Profile" or it says "Loading" and in both instances it freezes up. When I try to run as administrator I get the same results.
When I right click and select the troubleshoot compatibility option and select Windows XP Service Pack2 then I get a window that says:
"The client path has not been found, maybe your registry key is corrupted or is missing, choose a way to fix it:
Yes: Pandora will try to search where you installed the client automatically
No: You manually specify the client path."
When I select yes I get another window that says:
"The automatic search failed to find the folder, please specify the path manually" and I select ok, at which time I get a browse option to select the path of my game client.
When I select no I get the same browse option to select the path of my game client. Once I select the correct path/folder for my game client I get a window titled Microsoft .NET Framework Error and it says:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE\Origin Worlds Online\Ultima Online\1.0' is denied.
Then there are the continue and quit buttons and a details button. If I select continue then it says Loading and freezes up, if I select the quit button then it closes everything down. When I click the details button this is what it says:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
I am sorry for posting this like this but I am rather illiterate when it comes to this kind of thing and don't know how to put this into a smaller scrollable window.
Clicking continue on this window the PB gump says Loading and it freezes up. I am ready to start pulling out all my grays (and they outnumber the blond and browns by the hundreds) and that would be painful and I do not like pain so please hhhheeeelllpppp!!
Right now our shard uses a rather old client 7.0.3.0, we are in the process of rebuilding the shard and it will be with a much newer client and I am running Windows 7. I am not really computer illiterate but I there is so much more that I don't know compared to what I do know and I am rather blonde sometimes lol so everything that is in the previous posts in this thread all sound rather Greek to me hopefully someone can explain so that I can understand. Prior to having to wipe my system I had no problems with PB so this is very frustrating.
Thanks,
MorGanna
