It says that cannot open file \"pssetup\".
What do i need to do???
Please Please Help!!
-
Oh what i mean is it won\'t open. it just wants me to select a program to play it on (i.e a movie you would go to say Windows Mediea Player.
-
It\'s an exe program, it should run on it\'s own as long as you havn\'t (for some very, very strange reason) renamed the file and removed it\'s \".exe\" extension.
Either that, or you have a particularly bad virus that I encountered quite some time ago... in which case, you need to run a virus scan pronto.
If all exe programs are doing this, a temporary fix is to change the extension from .exe to .com which are basically the same thing.

Err uh How do i do that?
-
renmae it from pssetup.exe to pssetup.com
-
Well i did that and now when i open it it is just a black screeen with a little cursor (like this: _ ) blinking in the top for a few seconds and then it closes. What do i do???

Post your system specs for us. Include CPU speed, how much RAM you have and what graphics card you\'re using.
-
797 Mega Hertz 512MB of RAM
and a 3-d Graphics card. not sure which one but i know it plays games like this cause i\'ve plyed numerous other MMORPGs that are 3-d (I.E Priston Tale)

Hmm... not bad, you have the same amount of RAM as I do... you don\'t seem to have a particularly bad video card either, although without a name it\'s hard to say.
I\'d suggest reinstalling. It sounds to me like something\'s corrupted or missing. I could be wrong... but reinstalling is the best way to know for sure.
Go from the very first step- that is, compiling the .part files with the run_me_first.bat file.
After you\'ve done this, run pssetup.exe and tell me if there\'s any difference... if it works, or if it doesn\'t.
