AS IF IT COULD GET ANY WORSE!!!

ok, as if i'm not having enough problems with my screenshots not working, now elementary quit on me. i tried to redownload it since i switched to vista, and all i get is this message when i try to run the application "runtime error 53, cannot run because blah blah blah blah blah blah..." WTF????!^@!%(*^%(!^%$(^%!@#$ i'm very frustrated at the moment as you may have noticed... can anybody help me? please??? i am so desperate to post tracks again, its been 3 months since i posted anything and i miss doing it. but ever since i switched to vista, nothing seems to work properly... please help

edit: this occurs when extracting the download file, just to be specific.

Forget Vista. [flush]

Upgrade to XP! [redsmoke]

have you tried ever building the track yourself, instead of using "elementary"? oh no, perhaps not, god forbid someone might use some skill!

That's the prophecy of designing right thur, gouldy.

I use skill! [:D]

i only use elementary on occasion, and when i do, its only for flat turnarounds... go handbuilding![:D]

That's not skill, it's limiting yourself to an inferior design.

Okay there, alton. I'm pretty sure it's skill when handbuilders can come up with some of the best designs on the exchange...

Go for the slapsta solution:
Format C, instal XP!

Or, learn how to operate a computer. That could be the whole issue right there.

Actually things COULD be worse: You could have a real life problem.

I've been running Vista for a while now, and after I turned off all those warning messages, it became one of the most stable and pleasant OS's I've ever worked with. Only Windows 98 does better than Vista imo. Linux, Mac OS (Tiger) and XP all end up below Vista for me.

And for the error you have; search for the missing DLL link on Google, and you immediatly end up with the right solution. Not that hard..

thanks to mikado for acctually helping, and no thanks to anybody else for assuming that i "rely" on elementary or accusing me of "faulty computer skills" first off i only use elementary for the same reasons austin does, flat turns with perfect radii. and secondly i might be getting a job at a computer store soon and i work with computers very frequently.

Same thing when you use tools. Last time I checked theres threads devoted to every tool and it seems that 90% of most people have issues all over the place. Sounds kinda like hand building to me.

ya i still havn't got elementary to work... 3 months later...still nothing. i cant find the supposed missing dll code that mikado talked about, and i still get the same message "run-time error '53'" anybody have a useful answer for me yet???

Reinstalling?

[hyyyper]

go to the nearest forest with an axe and some nails and build some real coasters

[Kev]

so, it's not elementary that's causing the problem? Isn't elementary in a zip file? do you have problems extracting other zip files?

nah i unzipped both of the succesfully

???

this occurs after extracting, and when trying to open the program.

[Kev]

what DLL does it say that you're missing?

it doesn't specify...

just give up and go outside and see the light!

wow, i like how everyone has to be a d*@k about this. TMV asked for a little help and everyone gives him hell about it. if you dont have any advice for him, dont say anything. He asked for help, not for people to make fun of him.
