Army Builder on Windows 7

SanUriel · October 17th, 2009, 05:49 PM

Hello, I recently ran into a problem with Army builder where I cannot get the program to 'reopen' after I've used the program once and closed it. I always get the error.

The data files couldn't be loaded for the following reasons

Out of System resources.

My computer is running the 64 bit version and I have 4 GB of ram and plenty of hard drive. So what is going on, because I can re-install the program and get 1 good use out of it?

I have the same problem.

I'm running a Samsung NC10 netbook with 1Gb ram and 32bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Same thing for me too - worked fine under 3.1, but 3.2 appears to not work under Win7?

I had problems at first as well but if I remember correctly I changed it to run in compatibility mode. But I had problems with Windows 7 so I dumped. I'll try it out again perhaps after Service Pack 1 is released.

Hello
I have a similar problem with Windows 7 64bits

I can't activate Army Builder 3.1 even if i have always one licence available.

The other licence works well on Win XP SP2 32bits with Army Builder 3.1.
I check on Lone Wolf licence site admin : one A.B 3.1 licence already available but no way to install it on win7

I don't known if AB 3.2 is better with Windows 7.
Looking others posts, it seems that its does works correctly, bad news

Tynethe, do you mean you have AB operating on one computer, and you can't install AB on a second computer? If so, have you gone through the second license procedure in the license menu (in your original copy of AB)?

(sorry I can't help the rest of you - Rob and Colen know how the program is written, and have access to computers with Win7, but it sounds like Tynethe might have a different problem that I do know the answer to).

Hi
Thanks Mathias, you right i wasn't using the second license procedure, using this menu its works. Sorry for this miss understanding.
Just one other question : to use the new version 3.2a, i have to buy it isn't a extension
Thanks again.

Matthais,

Could you then please pose the question to those 2?

3.2 is a free update from 3.1 if your license is still active. Renewing it can be done through the license menu. I'm afraid I don't know if setting up a second license can be done if your license has expired. At a minimum, you'll have to install 3.1, not 3.2 on your second computer (there is a link to 3.1c available in the Army Builder section of www.wolflair.com).

I've forwarded it. I would presume they've seen it and were still studying the problem, or that gilvagor's suggestion of compatability mode was the correct solution, so there was no need to post and say the same thing.

Matthais,

I think the compatibility is the answer...thank you very much.
