  1. Yay, it's around 3 ******* hours later & now, I've only downloaded 25%...
  2. Well, actually, someone from the Beta Server did give me some instructions earlier today, but, so far, I haven't had any luck with it yet.

    Copy the beta install, replace the live install with the beta, select consistency check from the launcher.

    Go into the directory, press control-A then control-C. Go into the live install directory, press control-A then control-V. It'll ask you if you want to replace the files. Tell it yes. Wait for it to finish.

    On your launcher, go to the beta install, press the little down-triangle, press properties. It'll give you the directory where you installed it.

    Remember to run a consistency check you copy it over.

    Actually, what wound up happening was that I clicked on the COH Icon on my Desktop.
  4. The NCsoft Launcher even said that it was a, trickle download.
  5. As of now, it's been over 30 Minutes since I've begun too download Issue 21 & so far, I have only downloaded 6% of the new udpater & the amount of time keeps changing. It went from almost 400.00 too over 1,200.00 Minutes.

    What's wrong with this thing?
  6. The updater is just REALLY slow for me, as usual...
  7. Just about everything that's on my Laptop has been rewritten too .exe & it'll either just take me too a window with a few programs from my Desktop or it'll say, Application not found.

    Does anyone know how too reset a Laptop back too an earlier date?

I have the reg file that will fix this for you, I can see if I an get it uploaded somewhere when I get home from working...which is often pretty late PST time, if you can't find it.

    You shouldn't have to fix any shortcuts after the problem is fixed
    Ah, thank you, V-Tron.

    I take it that you wouldn't mind taking control of my Laptop via the share function (I think that's the name of it, I saw it as an option in the help menu) & help me out from there? :/

    Nah, I still can't access most of my stuff. I just found a back door into coh, is all.

    Can you check the properties of the shortcut you use to start coh where is it pointing to?
    It says that it' an EXE File.
  14. Okay, I've gotten too the window, but how do I actually do it? It's not giving me options for city of heroes or ventrilo so far.

    I have Vista, I'll keep looking, but so far, I can't find anything like that.
  16. This all started today when I decided too install winzip. I noticed that after I had installed winzip, that other programs such as Ventrillo or City of Heroes, would not open, it would just take me too winzip. So, I decided too uninstall the Godforesaken program & now I just can't open anything, it just takes me too a window with a few programs from my Desktop.

    Please help me, I have no idea what too do & this has gotten me so angry that it's giving me headaches.

    You know, I'm done reading the pages on this thread, it's mostly just people complaining anyway...

    I wish that they'd make a Giant Robot Booster Pack already...
  19. Apparently, the trick to make the downloading go faster is not working.

    I was on Step 11 before I gave up.
  20. That's nice & all, but the problem is that we have a launcher that is slower than snail **** in the middle of January...
