Guest Cloudchaser the Red Wolf furry Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Hi! :-) I like to play a space shooter game called Star Defender. When I go to Start/Programs or Start/Run to open the game, it opens just fine. But when I try to open it with an assigned hoykey on my keyboard or putting the command line of c:\Program Files\Star Defender 4\StarDefender4.exe into Windows Explorer, unlike most other files I try to open in those ways, I get this error message Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program: c:\Program Files\Star Defender 4\StarDefender4.exe This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information. When I try it with a bookmark in my browser, I get this error message Molebox Launcher Fatal Error. The dynamic link library 'BASS.dll' could not be found What can I do to fix this problem? I'd like to at least be able to open it with a hotkey on my keyboard or if not that, a bookmark in my browser.

It's probably because the game can't find some necessary binaries in it's own folder (which is poor programming, IMO). Take a look at the shortcut properties in the Start Menu (right click shortcut and select PropertIes). If there is a path in the the "Start In" field, you'll need to do the same for the shortcut assigned to the hotkey on your keyboard. Jon.

Aw, shoot. My (Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard) doesn't have that capability, but thanx anyway, at least I can send the part about "necessary binaries" to the game's maker
