[quote=capaone]i think i found my issue.... i have windows 7 home premium not windows 7 professional[/quote] Windows 7 starter, windows 7 home premium, windows 7 professional, windows 7 ultimate, it doesnt matter. They all run under the same kernel and install from the same Windows Installation DVD. Only difference is enabled features --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].

Do you have Norton running? I think that's the same error I was getting until I shut off Norton and tried again. I have Windows 7 and it's working fine.

sounds like you or your computer deleted the portal.exe file. Reinstall to default location C:\NeoMallers and NOT your TEMP folder --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].

The other option is let me look at things via a program called TeamViewer (google it) Basically it will allow me to see your screen and control basic aspects like the mouse/keyboard --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].

Great when you load it up, you'll see a 9 digit number like XXX XXX XXX and a four digit access code. You'll have to PM that to me so i can take a first hand look --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].

No worries. And actually, the core installation doesnt seem to copy over the portal.exe file for some odd reason. But the updater patch seems to take care of it. Really odd though --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].
