Silkroad Online Forums

Ok. I have a problem.
When i start my computer and log in to my account, a "Open this file" box appears. It asks for permission to open and it says "This is maybe not a secure file". First time i ticked "Cancel" and i got a bluescreen error -jay-.
Second startup, i didn't touch it and gone to msconfig. I de-selected the program from the list.
(In the error menu i found the file direction and name:
Name: BAR DLR AFF AAV AVM
Direction: C:\Users\>username<\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Tempority Internet Files\Content.IES\WU2QAVM4\SETUP[1].exe
I googled for BAR DLR AFF AAV AVM and i found something about a Windows Media Player update.
I updated windows media player like 2 weeks ago, and now i get this errors.
How can i get this away cause it's really annoying to have 3 messages popped-up on your screen all the time and your computer crashing every 15 minutes?
Thx in advance.

System restore
Uninstall WMP and reinstall
Reformat
Google harder

only things off the top of my head

What's the error message? It's Software error, for sure. Record the blue screen.

It's THE MATRIX!!

System restore works magic and is highly underestimated by most people

You can often restore it to something only a week back. Sometimes even less.

Plus you don't lose word files etc. Only software installations etc will be lost since then.

I highly recommend going with this.

Obviously a deeper google search won't hurt.
Tip on that; type in the full name of the file. Don't put spaces. Just jab in the whole filename as one.

GL!

A good idea for next time if you do a fresh install:

-Install windows
-Install all your drivers
-Update windows
-Get it setup the way you want (core programs, firefox, word processors, etc)

-Then use DriveXML to image your drive so that next time you have problems you can install a fresh image without reinstalling windows and drivers. I don't like restore.. never know exactly what it will keep, not keep, change, etc.. Being able to revert back to something fresh is always a better idea. I turn system restore off, steals resources.

Thx all
Didnt think of a system restore.
Everything works fine now. Except one thing.
But it's not really offtopic.
When i logged in to silkroad yesterday, a few times the [Invalid file version] box popped up.
Today, in the morning, before i went to school, i logged on an talked to a few guild members about tomorrow's fortress war.
Now today, after doing my homework etc., i wanted to log in, and it says:
Account blocked.
I think this has something to do with the [invalid file version] boxes yesterday, but i don't understand what's wrong (except my computer crashed), and why i could log on in the morning, and not now? (i didn't try to login between this morning and like 1 hour ago)

Because you use 3rd party programs, simple.

God damn, why did i expact this?
I read the name HesjaN and almost didnt even want to read your post. Some peoples are sooo predictable.

Well, the truth is predictable

Then go and change your name to "Char" and sell your powers to people, instead of just saying "BOT" and "3rd party program" at every topic, to make your e-penis longer.

Find one post from me where I accuse someone for "BOT", and BTW the "Invalid file version" is popping up because you are using a modified client, and as far as I know that window pop up when you have a program that modify the client, aka bots and other 3rd party programs.

Well. I got that message popup yesterday. It was coming every time i logged in even after restarting my computer. Then i reinstalled silkroad and tried again, everything worked. But now, one day later i got banned.

Because you used a 3rd party program.

no i don't!
Ohmygod, please get off.
Can somebody else help me?

If you didn't, why should they ban you?

And to help you:
No one can help you, you are banned for 7 days, you just need to wait until the 7 days are over, but if you still using 3rd party programs you will get banned for 14 days, and the 3rd ban is permanent.

Because joymax is full of bugs?
And there are plenty people that got banned for nothing, they did contact joymax somehow and got unbanned. Joymax can do everything for people that pay them.

Yeah, they are always telling that they got banned for nothing.
That excuse is just as usual as the "My brother was playing for me and he doesnt know how to write."

Yes. But do you see me writing that?
I wasn't even logged in, and in that time i was banned.
Kinda strange huh?

No it isnt.
If I understand you correctly you mean that they just ban people that is online?
They ban illegal users even if they are offline.

maybe you need to update? since you restored, it might have been back to a much previous version? if not then... full system restore lol... only way to make sure

Yeah. I did system restore. But after restore the client just patched and everythying seemed allright. I had the [invalid file version] box alot before. When i normally had d/c (like when in hotan sometimes) i got the [invalid file version] message popped up instead of [disconnected from the server] But it did never had any effects.
