Harper Haberdash 3	Posted - 2012.05.14 14:00:00 - [1] - Quote I have Windows 7, 64-bit. I copied the CCP\EVE game folder to the D: drive (as I read somewhere that it's standalone, can run from anywhere). When I try launching it from there, the client launcher loads, and the Inferno splash-screen shows when I click Play. The problem is, the game never shows up. I see the ExeFile.exe in the task manager (along with a cmd.exe and conhost.exe that spawned with it) - but the game doesn't ever pop up. Not in windowed, full-screen, or an icon on my start bar. I did the repair tool, and it said everything was fine. So, how come the ExeFile.exe (the actual game) isn't showing up, displaying, and what can I do to fix that? Any help, please?

Tried it on a few other Windows 7 systems (64Bit) and same thing occurred. I just made the assumption that the client requires a full installation now. That did the trick fine.

I guess it can't hurt. I'll give it a shot. BINGO -- that did the trick - thank you very much!
