This thing really hates me.

So, straight to the point: Reinstalled my system, updated drivers, updated directx, installed visual basic, disabled firewall. Windows xp 32bit home edition.

No$zoomer won't start. No$gba does, but no$zoomer just won't. No idea why, it did work before reinstalling, and I feel I'm missing something, just no idea what.

Windows XP, check. Directx up-to-date, check. VB installed, check. Firewall disabled - check.

What's wrong?

What happened when you try to run the app? Is it possible that your antivirus program may be blocking it? Or try downloading it again and see what happens

 

[Yong]

Disabled both the firewall and the antivirus, still nothing oO;
Well, I downloaded it again as soon as I reinstalled, just in case (the 2.3.0.2 version from the sticky). And what happens is basically nothing - neither the zoomer nor the no$gba itself start when I click the no$zoomer icon.
Sometimes the no$gba procese appears in the task manager, though oO

try deleting NO$Zoomer.ini

 

[Yong]

Didn't help either. Also tried erasing everything except for core no$gba files (and saves) and "clean-copying" no$zoomer, still nothing.

I assume no$gba and No$Zoomer have both been extracted to the same folder?

 

[Yong]

Of course they were.
Everything is just as it used to be before reinstall, but for some reason, it just won't start >_<

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

disable DEP?

 

[Yong]

Disabled for no$zoomer and no$gba just in case, still nothing. Running out of ideas here...

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

install VC6, VC2005SP1 and VC2008SP1 Runtimes.

 

[Yong]

Still nothing, although I'm not sure VC6 installed correctly, after unpacking the self-extracting file, I've noticed the creation dates and sizes of the .dlls in the archive and in my system32 folder are not the same, can't replace them manually though because they're "being used by another process"

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

may need a restart after installing those packs

 

[Yong]

As I said, not sure if they're properly installed (reset did nothing). The vc6 itself didn't bring up any installation window (just extraction window, and I'm talking about the extracted file already), the 2005sp1 seemed to install, while 2008 is fine and installed, and the install window just shows repair/uninstall.
And no$zoomer still won't work >_<

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

disable DEP entirely, or,... install the latest Dx, or..... um..... yeah thats all...

 

[Yong]

Well, I guess I'll try messing with everything a bit later on, cause something MUST be wrong.

I have this problem and I have to tell you that I coulnd´t find a solution.
Everytime you want to use No$Zoomer you will have to replace the "attach.dll" file with another copy of it.

I don´t know why this tool everytime you use it, change something in the "attach.dll"... so, in order to run it again, you will have to replace it with a "non used" attach.dll file.

I attach my "non used" copy of the file. Try it... and see what happened.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

nothing changes >.< your system is just retarded.

 

[Smilley]

If the problem is about changes in a certain file, try to set it read-only (rightclick->Properties->General tab).

 

[ShadowWyvern]

No$zoomer used to work perfectly until my computer got a virus...
long story short,i deleted a lot of stuff in the system and since then its not working anymore...
its software related issue,i wish i remember what i deleted but a fresh install of windows will solve it,i hope :/

 

[Yong]

Ok, I did basically every single step again and still, it doesn't want to run. I must be lacking a dll or something, as ngzoom works while no$zoomer doesn't.

If nobody else has any idea what to do, I think I'll just give up.
