Unable to run alice 2.3 (again)

[mat9999]

My Alice 2.3 starts, but hangs on loading... It runs on Win XP, SP3, Core2Duo, 2GHz, 3GBRAM, 1280x720 resolution screen, Java 6.31. I must end the process in task manager.

Do someone have some suggestion what to do?

Thanks.

Would you do me a favor, delete the version of Alice that you have on your machine that you are trying to run and download an earlier version of Alice, to see if it will install and run. Try the August 5 version, available at this link…

Thank you,

So, as you've already know I downloaded recommended version from august, I remove .alice folder, I deinstalled 3.1, cleared the registry and folders and tryed to run 2.3 on 4 PC (3 stacionary and 1 laptop). They all had XP SP3, slightly different resolution, 3 of them core2duo and laptop with dual core. The situation is the same everywere. But Alice 2.2 works. Now I have only 2 reason remain: 1. national settings or 2. bad copy of 2.3 . Or... ?

I'd like to figure out who had had the same problem, and because of this replaced 2.3 with 2.2? This might be good to know, to find the reason faster.

Thanks.

This may be a 32/64 bit operating system problem. Our JOGL libraries are for 32bit system, so all 64 bit users need to make their Alice open in 32bit. There is a setting in the properties to do this (for both MAC and Windows)

Return to my main problem I discovered, that 2.3 doesn't work on Vista as well.

At least not consistently anway. I have tried in several different workstations n my classroom, but it fails in some. Just stsrts and freezes at the splash screen.

Running 2.3 on a win7 64-bit machine at home, and works fine.

Are you sure it's not some security issiue?

And the process would be?

Currently have two Alice 2.3 zip files.
One is 342,218KB
One is 341,511KB

Try this...

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble launching Alice 2.3 on your computer. Can you please try renaming the following file:
C:\...\Alice 2.3\Required\lib\win32\jni_directx7renderer1.dll to jni_directx7renderer.dll (just remove the 1 from the end) and remove the other one from the directory.

Run Alice 2.3 and see if that works. If not, try running Alice in "compatibility mode". Right click on Alice.exe and select properties. In the "Compatibility tab, check the Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP" checkbox.

Keep us posted...

Thanks,
Don Slater
