HELP! Can't open doom builder 2
« on: December 13, 2011, 12:55:10 AM »
i downloaded doom builder 2 (both the setup and installer) and i open it, but it doesnt open. instead a message pops up saying that it has encountered a problem, and needs to close. So, in short, i cant get into doom builder. any help? ive reinstalled multiple times to attempt to fix this, but no luck.

yep. on the site theres a microsoft update thing. i checked, and im up to date on that. as for the other requirements, i already have them.


EDIT: scratch that, theres one ackward one i cant fix, but thats with windows movie maker and media player. i cant play videos because a codec is missing, and theres no files to download it online.

That codec problems, is most likely your problem. Of course, I'm not 100% certain.
