Problem description?

Xlink closes right after launch. No error message. Newest version of xlink on a clean install (Unistalled, ran CCleaner, deleted appdata, cleared cache and cookies, restart, reinstall, ect.). Everything is in XP sp2 compatibility mode (tried them all) and run as admin. No firewalls or antivirus runnning.

It worked fine the very first time I ran it and multiple times there-after. I set everything up and glossed over all the features and current players with big moon eyes while waiting for my wireless adapter to arrive. Now that I have it Kai will not run. I've checked every post and fix I could find over a couple days and nothing works.

If I do a clean install of a previous version of XLink Kai I can launch the config just fine but I get a runtime error when trying to launch the engine.

I found many people with the same problem and after all the "Canned Responses" are ruled out the threads just die. This appears to be a serious problem for many people. I understand it's free and you get what you pay for, but there has to be a solution to this.

Just installed xlink on my Win7x32 tablet and it runs fine (for now). Still hope to resolve the issue.

Install the newest version of Microsoft Visual C++ this might fix it.
