Try changing ur editors graphic setup e.g. Software Rendering > Direct 3d, dunno if that might help ya out, you should be able to change it in Unreal Editor.ini

I see you have Aero, so you're using WIN 7 or Vista. Ued doesn't like Aero, and crashes a LOT... But I've never had it crash on startup... Try downloading 436 patch, Re-Patching UT, and then if that doesn't work try a full Re-install, maybe even an Uninstall-then-install... That's all I can suggest.

Now that you mention it, I have a laptop with Vista and Aero disabled. It never gave me problems in Ued, but it did give me lots of them when I developed a simple application in VB6. I disabled it and it never gave me problems again.
Try to deactivate Aero, that might at least help when you get Ued working.

Many developing tools dislike Aero or is it vice versa Aero dislike developing tools... :?:

I had no idea what you meant by Aero so i google'd it and then went to disable it, and found that it's not even on there? lol It's set to Window's Vista Basic.

Fact is, you must have something from Aero enabled since you have translucent windows there. I say this because I have a laptop with Vista, and the translucent part only gone away after I disabled Aero, and afaik it's Aero that makes the windows look like that (plus a lot of problems also went away after disabling and the performance is better as well).

I forgot i had gamebooster at game mode at the time i posted that so thats why it had Aero disabled, but now i've not got gamebooster on and changed it to vista basic and still get the same error :(

I think it just doesn't like you. Perhaps the universe is telling you "Don't map." :noidea

It's the damn goblin I tell you... Well, if you have a good pen drive, you can always try it elsewhere. I mean, copy the install to a pen drive and try it in another pc if you can, to see if you get the same exact error. We need to see if it's the game or the os/pc.
I have a install in my pen drive to work in my mods once the class gets boring and "uninformative", it just runs slower and I can't compile big things, but other than that it works flawlessly in any pc with the minimal drivers installed.

:roll: lol guys,the same error appears in unreal :roll: the answer is DEP.
1. Click Start
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select System
4. Click the Advanced tab
5. In the Performance region select Settings
6. Click the Data Execute tab in the dialog box that opens
7. Select Turn on DEP for all programs and services.
its a error wich also happens in unreal if u turn of DEP.
