Station Launcher isn't working.....

[Caitrio]

<p>I just reformatted my harddrive (monthly routine) and tried to install the Station Launcher and redownload EQ2, however, when I start the launcher I get this:</p><p>C:Program FilesSony Online EntertainmentStationLauncher.exe</p><p>This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.</p><p>I've uninstalled, deleted the file from Program Files, and deleted the registry entries too, and I STILL get this error...</p><p>How do I fix it? (Other than reformatting again)</p>

<p>Are you running Windows Vista on that machine?  If so then you will want to set the game for Vista compatibility by following these steps:</p><p>1. Right click on the program launch icon2. Left click on "Properties".3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".8. Right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"</p>

<p>Mmmmmk....I'm not entirely sure why that worked but it did...</p><p>No I'm not using Vista, I'm using XP Home but here's what fixed it (apparently):</p><p>I was getting slow download speeds dispite my connection being perfectly fine so my internet provider reset my modem manually and I can now run Station Launcher (didn't fix the speed though.....downloading EQ2 at 35.7KB/s........could be a while) Anyway, if anyone can explain to me -why- that fixed my problem with the launcher I would like to know (so would the support representatives that I've been playing email tag with XD)</p>

<p>When dealing with modems/networks, it could have been a number of variables. My theory is that there may have been some background processes utilizing your network in a way that was blocking or degrading any requests sent back and forth between the launcher.</p><p>If the reset had to come from them for it to work, it could have also been something to do the route your ISP had been sending your connection through.</p><p>But it's tough to say without more information!</p>
