My Maplestory isnt starting and I get no messages/ errors

Hello fellow maplers, today I recently got a new laptop and instantly downloaded Maplestory (Windows7). However, maplestory does not start through Maplestory/Gamelauncher and it gives me no messages/errors. Please help. Thanks in advance.

How about unblock the patcher from your firewall block list ?

mmh interesting, you might have direct X 11 pre installed on your computer. You should uninstall then try download DX from this link : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24834

If this aint working, then the only thing that comes to my mind is your graphics card drivers that you should try to resintall

if it still aint working reinstall maple

if its still aint working, then idk what to do try googling it xD

[quote=tirfatal]if you recently got a new computer, some drivers are essential to boot any games. maybe your drivers are outdated, therefore causing problems with whatever you try to do with your computer. Direct x is needed to play maplestory aswell and new computers 99% of times dont have direct x ( v.9 or higher ). Check out if you have direct X on your computer, if you dont, im 100% sure this is your problem, and check if your drivers ( motherboard, GPU, etc ) are outdated. If they are, get the most recent version on their main webistes.[/quote]

This isn't about INSTALLING it's about maple not starting.

Well, this computer is Windows 7 and is working just fine.

@tirfatal what do you mean by direct x and drivers?

make sure you installed all of your most recent drivers ( especially graphics card ) and direct x as well, I have win7 64 bits and I never had trouble with maple

I do not appreciate your negative comments.

I do not think I have any missing files.
