Help please
« on: Tuesday, June 25, 2013, 14:56:14 PM »
Hi guys,

today i had to format my computer and put a new Win7 ultimate. Then i downloaded the AA25assist and opened it, The assist then updated itself and from then on i can't open it. I tried opening it as an administrator tried deleting and doing it again, reseting the computer nothing works. It doesn't say that there is something from it doesn't get an error it simply doesn't open and I can't even find it on task manager :( Any ideas?

Have you done all of the Windows Updates? Even the optional ones?

This happens with me sometimes when I format a computer, some programs won't install/run until .NET is updated.

hi IronMaiden
be sure you have all updates of win7. then look also into your logs of win with "run eventvwr". watch for lots of errors (hopefully none). delete all system, applications and securites entries there after read them.

configure your windows explorer so that you can see hidden files. then go to the assist folder and delete all of them at
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\

download the full installation of aa2assist again from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/aa25assist/files/Binaries/25Assist.zip/download

run it with administrator rights! it will take some time to do the installation. watch for correct installation (no breaks).
after that, run assist - also with admin rights. tell me, whats happend, but before watch the "eventvwr" again and look again for errors or warnings. if there are some errors, tell me what they say.

should work. good luck!

btw: you did open all the needed ports on your firewall - new installation of windows means new firewall rules..:)

Neither Chrome or IE don't find the download page or it blockes it therefor i can't download it from there. I had to download an old version of AA25 that was uploaded on a private slovenian torrent tracker. Could someone please email me the assist to my email kristjan1412atgmaildotcom. Thank you

wow Iron, but then i guess you have a problem with your firewall or security configuration of the new windows installation. i can even connect from my work (and this is really save and most is forbidden).

i will post the link on clan page this evening. let's see if it helps or we will find another way. but please check the config of win7

btw: any strange entries at eventviewer so far ? - do not post it here if so, do on clanpage, members room or ts

Firewalls blocking it, you must allow connections to go through to open the website. You can also use bypass or any proxy to get to the download page. Check your java, NET, all updates of your pc. Make sure you use admin right and make sure your anti virus not blocking it. From what you said it seems that something blocking it or some kind of update needs to be done.
