Zugg Software :: View topic - "CMUD has stopped working" It won't even load

One possible thing he can try is manually entries to his registry (perhaps changing or adding a benign value where CMUD would) and see if he is able to store that.

sneaks: Try downloading and installing the 1.33 version of CMUD at http://www.zuggsoft.com/files/cmudinstall133.exe and see if that helps at all. Remember to still use the Run As Admin option.

I cleaned Zuggsoft out of my registry (i think) before install, and uninstalled 1.34 and cleaned up files from it before installing.

outta fresh ideas?

I'm not sure if it was suggested in this thread, or the other one that was discussing these Vista problems, but did you ever try installing and running CMUD when in "safe" mode. Safe mode should disable most of the other software running on your computer that might be interfering with the copy protection. I'll also update the copy protection in the 2.0 version of CMUD to see if that helps.

I've been running cmud for quite some time and today when I started it up I am experiencing the exact same problem as Sneak.

I tried all of the steps. I'm running Vista Ultimate, installed myself (not on a dell or anything like that).

As I said, it had been working perfectly find for many months now. I tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, searching and destroying all files related to (backed up my char files of course).. cleaned out the registry but to no avail.

So what changed on your computer between the time it was working and today? Did you install any Vista updates or any other software updates? Any updates to your anti-virus or anti-spyware software? What other software is running in the background that might be stopping CMUD from running?

I think we have narrowed this problem down to some other program that is interfering with the CMUD Armadillo copy protection system, so maybe some virus checker vendor has screwed something up in their updates, or something like that?

OK, people, please read my post response above:

Oh. Mine is the other CMUD post in this forum. Is from mid July I believe. I tried everything you and others suggested. Nothing worked so just thanked you all (As I really do appreciate all of you trying! :) ) and left quietly. Just thought to check back today to see if anyone else had had any luck and if so, what they tried or did to get it up and running.

I will try this when I get home tonight. And that *might* be it. Just a guess though because when I transferred everything from old Dell with XP to new Dell with Vista, ZMUD actually worked for 2 days. No problems at all. Then Vista suggested I dl and install some updates. Which I allowed and after a reboot ZMUD was dead. I tried everything, removing and reinstalling ZMUD, downloading a newer version of Zmud (I had a older, less gadget-y version *grin*), etc.. nothing worked. Which is when I came here, found out about CMUD and tried that instead and ran into the "stopped working" error issue.

Zugg, you've hit the nail on the head.

I completely forgot but about a week ago I turned it onto the other setting with an exception to stop getting an error message (related to divx file previews crashing a service).

My Mudding is more important than a minor annoyance however!

Edit: Quick follow up. It also works if I just add 'c:\program files\cmud\cmud.exe" to the list of services on that page.

It worked!! Thank you, thank you!!

Will my old license key for ZMUD work in CMUD?

Breaks my heart that I finally admitted defeat and removed all traces of Zmud last week, along with 5 years of settings for the 3 muds I play. :( Was hundreds of aliases, house and people hilites, passwords for within the game, function keys for long quest commands. Ah well, is worth the days of redoing them all just to have my beloved client back finally! :)

Am so happy to be able to kill Portal now! Thanks again, so very much!

One last question.. in ZMUD ctrl l cleared my screen. I think. I know was ctrl something. My brain is saying l. That brought up something different in CMUD. Is there a quick ctrl option to clear my screen still?

You can't use your zMUD license with CMUD. CMUD is an all new product from Zuggsoft but trust me, it's well worth it.

As for clearing the screen the clear window hotkey is Ctrl-J.

The #clr command does it as well.

Depending on how long ago you deleted your files and how much you've written to the drive in the meantime, it's possible that they still exist on the disc. Google "undelete" and you'll find a whole host of utilities that'll help you undelete files. The only trouble is, if it was a week ago you've probably overwritten it by now :(

Also, maybe the post above should be stickied in the CMUD and zMUD forums?

Since it has been quoted here I will be splitting off Zugg's post and doing some sticky work with it. Take a few minutes to make sure I got it all set right.

Thanks!

I was able to find a set of settings for one of the muds. And since it was the mud I've played longest and the most I was pretty happy. It's an older version but some minor tweaking will fix it right up and beats re-doing hundreds of them from scratch. :)

I was able to bring it in to CMUD as a package, but not into the mud I wanted (Don't ask. :P ). It actually saved the file as a new mud with it's own icon. How do I move that package to a different mud I've already set up in CMUD? I have no doubt it's simple but given my level of cluelessness, even simple is usually tricky when it comes to computer stuff like this. *grin*

When you open CMUD right click and choose to edit the session you want to ADD the package to. Click on the Package File tab then click the green '+' (plus) sign. This will let you browse to other packages that you want to add to that session.

When you are done save your changes. When you open your session and go to the Package Editor you will see a new tab there representing the package you added.

The DEP correction worked for me, as well. Thanks

I was getting the same problem, even with UAC turned off it would not run, the DEP fix worked and fixed my problem.
I'm running vista business.

Thanks alot.
