little problem

[atzuma]

so ive read all the faqs and troubleshooting and nothing discribes my problem.
ok after installation of pj64, i can play fine everything works great, but when i quit the program and decided to play again, the program opens and closes real fast. the only way i can get it to stay open is to completely reinstall it. there are no error messages from the computer or the program.it just opens , i see the program up for not even a second and then it closes. anyone know whats up?
=dont know if this matters but my pc is=
P4 3.4ghz
1gig mem ram
128.0 MB video ram RADEON X300/X500 series
xp

might not be closing the original instance properly?

 

[atzuma]

im pretty sure i am. even after a computer restart, it does the same thing. shouldnt it fully close it when i do a computer restart? ive crt/alt/del to see if some part of it is running but i dont see anything assoiciated with it. the more i think about it yahoo messager did the very same thing to me except it didnt run at all, even after installation

 

[squall_leonhart]

yeah it should. what settings are you changing in the plugins?

 

[atzuma]

well i dont mess with any settings. i only run my zelda rom and play. ive just tryed to open up pj64 with my windows task manager on with the application tab displayed and breifly i saw 2 different things. first time i opened it a "SYSFADER" displayed then it closed,then a few more times i try to opened pj64 it displayed "project64" then it closed. any clue on what sysfader is?

""well i just researched sysfader and it is has nothing to do with my program not working properly. sysfader is just the process of a program "fading" onto my desktop and "fading out" though the more i think about it, maybe there is a problem with sysfader and its not properly working right and causing the program to close" i dunno...

erm, you better get googling

 

[atzuma]

be nice to get some help from the guys who make this thing, but they only help one on one if you give them money, but im not sure i want to give them money since i cant get it to work properly in the first place...

i am one of those guys, but based on what you've said i don't think this is a pj64 problem - i think it's a windows problem. i quickly googled "sysfader" and found 3 possible ideas, but its too much to go into here, so you need to look yourself. that may not even be the issue but its hard to know where to go, you'll need to use some imagination. this is not a known pj64 problem in any way sorry.. maybe someone else has some ideas or has seen similar problem (in any app).

 

[atzuma]

this is a pj64 problem because i found out sysfader has nothing to do with it, Sysfader is a Windows process that fades menus and
controls transition effects etc. i am not having a problem with that disregard my sysfader post. i am not having problems with sysfader im having problems with pj64 and pj64 ONLY. if this was a sysfader problem i would be having problems with all programs that use sysfader (which is every program that creates a window on my desktop) and yes ive googled it too and everything about sysfader problems is with error messages people are having and like i said before i am recieving no error messages. why would i be able to run pj64 perfectly right after installation but not after ive already exited once. seems to me if it were sysfader messing up i wouldnt be able to run it at all.

 

[atzuma]

actually. screw it. i have no problems with 1964 so ill just support them. i liked the way pj64 was set up and all but i guess beggers cant be choosers.i wont bother yall anymore thanks anyway

 

[Smiff]

some sort of registry access problem maybe?
must be very rare problem, never or perhaps once heard this before.
btw, just because 1964 works doesn't necessarily mean it's PJ64's fault.. 1964 i think uses settings files..
i would like to understand this but i'd probably need to be in front of the pc to solve this one. sorry. unless you can tell us anything else or anyone else reading recognises your description.
