[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 9361576, member: 7737"] Also: Never, ever, ever run CBLoader from the .exe in the hidden directory. Always use the shortcut that gets created. Seriously, I cannot emphasize this enough. If you are ever about to double-click on an .exe (as opposed to the shortcut), DON’T DO IT. ABOUT THAT SHORTCUT The shortcut that gets created can end up pointing to the wrong file. Close all open instances of CB. Right-click on the shortcut (on your dekstop or wherever you moved it to), do Properties, and look in the Target line. It needs to read as follows: %APPDATA%\CBLoader\CBInstaller.exe Exactly like that, with the percent symbols; explicitly pointing to CBInstaller.exe and [I]not[/I] pointing to any variety of CharacterBuilder.exe You will probably get prompted by Windows to grant administrator privileges when you update the Target line; say yes. Close any open instances of CB, then re-launch from that shortcut. when it loads up you should see a screen where it lists a ton of loaded modules. If you did not see this screen when CB started, then your shortcut is still pointing to the wrong place. You can try fixing the shortcut again, or the nuclear option which is to uninstall and start over. [/QUOTE]
