Last time I had sand box installed it was just fine with no problems. Well I became in active with it and un installed it. When I reinstalled it yesterday I couldnt get it to load. It'll give the loading bar then an instat after its finished it will exit itself and thats that. No pop up or error code nothing. I run it manually from the folder already, gave it administrator rights, and i use the main download since the latest wont work.

Any help? Thanks a ton! I love this to much to toss it aside like all the other impossible to use creators. :mrgreen:

Ugg, maybe it's vista? On my family desktop, I got the same problem a few times, just keep trying, that SHOULD work, or microsoft should give everyone with vista their money back and windows 7/xp

You can also trying 2 download the SVN version: http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... evelopment (everybody may use it, but actually it's the developers version), download Tortoise and it should work.
Also try turning the shaders off.

I hope this helps

oh yeah, that might help, if you get windows 7, SB will only work with the shaders off, in svn, or both!
