Recurring Problem Technical

Well this is i believe my second thread relating to this problem so sorry if it annoys you. Earlier i made a thread on what i should do since my game wasnt launching. To be clear id start the game either through the website or gamelauncher and the process would terminate. I dont even get up to the hacksheild. Ive tryed various compatibility settings, reinstalling the game, using steam, restarting my computer and also I opened up a ticket. Through tinkering around with the game and my computer settings i was finally able to get it worked. 3 hours later the game crashed and i have this same problem again. Is there anything i can do besides install another OS for the game?

TLDR: the game wont start up, Doesnt make it up to the hacksheild. I fixed it for about 3 hours then it crashed and i have the same problem again. [
[b]The process keeps terminating itself[/b]

EDIT: Ill just ask you here. Can you explain how to access my registry files so i can do what you mentions or at least link a post that explains this? Using windows 8[/quote]

Luckily, I've just upgraded my OS to Windows 8.1.
- Uninstall the game
- Right-click on the Windows start button (I'm used to windows xp), select run.
- Type 'regedit' without the apostrophes and click the 'OK' button or press return/enter.
- Click 'Yes' to allow the program to make changes to the computer
- Click on 'Edit' at the top of the window or hit Ctrl + F to open the search function
- Search for all instances of hackshield, MapleStory, Nexon and Wizet and delete each one manually by pressing 'Delete' when one is highlighted
- Reinstall the game

The maplestory process isnt there... Unless you want me to start maple, end the process before it ends itself

[quote=ballsface]When does it terminate? Immediately after you click start on GameLauncher?
Error message?[/quote]

I start gamelauncher and the process terminates about 5-9 seconds after. No error message whatsoever

Error message?

EDIT: Try this. Uninstall Maple, go to your registry and delete all instances of hackshield (this may affect other games), MapleStory, Nexon and Wizet. Then reinstall.
