Crash on startup - Page 2

infinitepi · March 15th, 2008, 08:23 AM

I just wanted to let you guys know, I added Army Builder to the exception list on my firewall after experiencing a similar problem on startup where buttons (like OK buttons, and the buttons on the Create New Roster screen) where distorted and hard for the program to recognize when I'm clicking on it. If I 2x clicked on my saved roster file, it would load the Army list in the top half of the screen but my Army list would not load and the program would stop responding.
After adding it to the firewall and loading up the program (no reinstall) all buttons worked properly and the Army list loads up w/ no issues.
I recommend trying this out and seeif that helps. I was only able to get w/ a fresh install prior to making this change and I can now load fine.

Hope that helps, good luck!

edit 3/17 - i just tried loading up the program again and cannot click the buttons again, guess it didn't work....

I am also having this issue. Was it ever resolved by lonewolf?

Is there a hotfix I am missing?

I had this problem, try temporatily disabling Anti Virus, Anti Spyware and Anti Hacker software, if this works then add the program to the exceptions list in the respective applications.

Same problem.

Here is the windows error message:

AppName: armybuilder.exe AppVer: 3.1.3.92 ModName: armybuilder.exe
ModVer: 3.1.3.92 Offset: 00104f75

Have tried all the solutions, etc.

I recently started experiencing this as well. The problem seems to be the Army Builder preferences file.
If you delete the file abprefs.xml in the main Army Builder install directory, it should start fine.

The problem is that the file is rewritten when you close Army Builder, so just keep on deleting it, I suppose. The only change I've made recently is to add 40k 5th ed to my data files. hmmm.....

EDIT: D'oh! Sorry, I missed this thread:

Basically, edit abprefs.xml and delete everything in it. Save it and mark is as read-only. That worked for me.
