Zeroeditor crashes when executed [Solved: wrong color depth]

Post by asleeponduty »

Hello, yesterday was an interesting day as zeroeditor failed.
I ran zeroeditor yesterday only to have it crash, with the classic "Send error report" window appear. I didn't even load anything, the program itself was failing while loading up,
so for my n00bish problem, anybody have suggestions?

Did you do anything different than usual between the last time ZE worked and now that it crashes?

I've had similar problems 3 times, once after I installed vista (had to set XP compability), moving it to admin drive (obviously had to run it in admin there) and once I couldn't find out why so I decided to reinstall it (worked again after that).

Well, the only major events which happened beforehand were i got a fatal error by connecting the computer to the tv (which it supposedly supported)
and i updated the gcard driver.

I will try reinstalling it, it might be some kind of thing like that
EDIT: It still doesen't work.


EDIT 1: Problem solved: When I updated my driver, it defaulted the screen to 16 bit color instead of 32 bit. now it works!
