Xlink launching engine, but not UI

Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2004 4:43 am

Is your network reachable? Yes
Are you using a port-forward? No
Is your console being detected? No
Brief description of your network setup: wireless router, wireless to PC, simple hub b/w PC and xbox
Do you use a software firewall? What brand? Have you made any changes to it? Norton Firewall 2002
Operating System? WindowsXP Pro + SP1
Problem description? Xlink launches engine but not UI, and if I double-click in xlink icon in taskbar, it goes away. XBconnect works fine, so its not the network. I just don't know what to do, because there is no UI. Sometimes, xlink crashes on startup (windows error). xlink config works fine.

[KaiUserConfig]
kaiPort=0
kaiDeepPort=0
kaiAccept=ALL
kaiTimeout=NOUI
kaiNIC=2
kaiLaunch=BOTH
kaiHomebrew=OFF
kaiPAT=OFF
kaiAutoLogin=OFF
kaiWireless=
kaiUI=Default

Please help me! Thanks Smile

Looks like an old version to me. Few lines missing from the config file.

Do the whole uninstall, delete program files folder, re-download, re-install, auto-update procedure.

Few things you should note: you say you've got a wireless PC. You sure this WLAN card has promiscious mode support? What model card is it? You said it works on XBC so I presume it does.

One thing I'd like you to do before deleting and uninstalling is check if a kaiUI.exe exists in the installation folder. If not, you've got some downloading issues on your end that the procedure I wrote above should sort out.

Cool, thanx.
I didn't have to worry about the UI after all, because I just integrated the engine into XBMC. Thanks again.

Fair enough. Problem solved.
