  • Well, it wasn't a very smart move to just put all your login information out in the open on a forum where everyone can see it...
    Anyway, do you get any error messages when trying to open CF?
  • URGENT!!! cannot launch CF after Bame Booster

    pertinent to above massage...it has all details.. I cannot seem to launch CF period...no matter what... I even deleted GB, CF...re-installed tried one without the other nothing works.
    NOW I HAVE DELETED GB & RE-DOWNLOADED CF STILL NOT LAUNCHING....NOTHING ON task manager ALSO (NOT EVEN A GLIMMER.....SO THAT MEANS THAT THE CF PROCESS IS NOT EVEN BEING LAUNCHED) I have the best of antivirus, malaware & have tried all of them...................PLEASE ADVISE
  • I did not someone else did..has hacked into my cf account & written all crazy kind of stuff there which doesn't seem to make any sense.....as to my posting why the hell would i put my own info there????....unless a certified lunatic
  • sorry again ...please can u locate who that person was ....he is anyways using an old password of mine....so apparently is not(shall v say) unto current events. The email is correct...but he is apperently trying to get my new password......anyways any help on launching CF would be greatly appriciated..................Thnx Phillybear
  • No error messages...opens till the "start" screen...& clicking on start all goes blanck
  • Phillybear pls don't quit me.....beg u to help me
  • You'd be surprised how often people put their login details on here just because they think it would make us better able to help them.
    Anyway, I can think of two possible problems right now:
    1) You're not running CF with administrator rights
    2) Your antivirus has found a false positive in the CF files and has made it impossible to launch CF.
    For 1): just add "launch as administrator" in the Properties of the CF exes (both the patcher and the launcher). I doubt this will be the problem if CF has worked before though
    For 2): You're going to have to reinstall it again, but with some specific guidelines, explained in this post: http://forum.z8games.com/showpost.php?p=2005204&postcount=15
    I hope either of those solves your problems. If they don't, I'm out of ideas for now....

    Edit: finding whoever used your account previously is probably not possible and I doubt it's something the Z8 staff even does...
  • firstly thnx for the quick reply....love u Phillybear..teddy....& know what u may just be right. I was receiving mssgs from my Avast antivirus...i'm gonna follow ur advice & if ur still around after 5 mins will let u know what happens



    pls cclarify furtherlaunch as administrator" in the Properties of the CF exes....how do i do that ..what is execs
  • With exes I just meant the .exe files in your Cross Fire folder: one is named CF_G4Box, the other one is patcher_cf. Right-click those, then select Properties. (normally the lowest option on the list) There you go to the tab called "Compatibility" (normally the 2nd tab) and you select "Run this program as Administrator" (lowest option). Then just press ok. CF will now always ask for your permission when you want to launch it.
