Crashing when tryign to do anything at menu

[adamhos]

I can get the game to start up, except any button I press on the main menu causes the game to crash, except ironically the 'exit' button. The crash isn't descriptive, it just says lockon.exe has stopped working.

 

It crashes immediately upon pressing any of the buttons on the left. The Fly buttons take me to the loading screen, it gets halfway through the loading and then crashes.

 

I installed lock-on then flaming cliffs, I didn't check to see if regular lock-on had the issue, and I really don't want to re-install and waste one of my flaming cliffs activations.

 

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

 

I've tried turning off aero, setting the resolution in the config file, making sure everything is up to date, etc.

 

System:

 

Flaming Cliffs 1.12b, and Windows 7 64 bit.

radeon 4850

amd phenom II 655

4GB ram

sb audigy 2

Check if you have any entries for Lockon in this route:

 

Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Problem Reports and Solutions > View Problem History

 

If so, copy that information in here and it might indicate what the problem is.

Excellent. Looking at the crash reports let me figure out what it was. It was caused by "npclient.dll", part of a joystick app that I had. I changed the name of the dll and restarted, and now it works great :D

 

Thanks!
