Can the parser be run on Vista? I have been running it on XP for the last few months but I got a new comp and when I run it POL crashes. Is the parser incompatible with vista or am I just doing it wrong?

edit: Also, when I try to "toggle ___" it will crash as well (only for unloading the plugin)

Hmm... POL crashes when you run the parser? No clue what that's all about.

Also, what do you mean "toggle ___", and unloading the plugin?

I don't really know if it's Vista compatible because I've never tried it. But I know others run it on Vista successfully.
 
forget the toggle. that was me being stupid, that's windower.

When I open the parser, it will say `Playonline Viewer has stopped running`. I assume I have to do something special security related, but I really do not know Vista very well.
 
What happens if you choose the setting to force POL to run in WinXP compatibility mode?
 
I'm not really sure :( I just hear it referred to a lot, I've never used Vista. If I had to guess, I'm thinking maybe you could do it by right clicking both the POL icon and the DvsParse icon, and clicking properties. And maybe one of those windows has a box you can click to force winxp compatibility mode.
 
Ok, I managed to find it. It was about where you thought it might be. Now the parser will open, however, it's not parsing any of the chat log.
 
You said you used to use the parser, so I'm assuming you clicked File -> Start Parsing? Does anything show up in the Raw Chat Log view?
 
Yeah, I did File->Start Parsing and nothing shows in the Raw Chat Log view.

And what version are you using?
 
Is there a debug.log file output to the same directory as the parser?
 
yes, but it's empty. The "Date modified" changes whenever I open a new parser log file though ... if that helps.
 
it runs fine on vista never had any issues with it
 
Just to confirm, there is absolutely nothing in the debug.log file?
 
There WAS nothing ... now there is:

This may be from when I tried opening it without saving it to a file though.
 
Oh, actually that might be what's wrong. Are you running as a user with administrator privileges?
 
I set it to "Run as Administrator" by default (I thought I had before, but I must have forgotten to when I did it for other programs). If it opens, POL crashes.
 
Do you know if ASLR is enabled? (I don't know how to check)

Run as Administrator definitely needs to be enabled for DvsParse.exe. When it crashes like that, what does the crash look like? Does the debug.log contain anything after the crash?

Click to expand...

Sorry I'm kinda slow getting back, Summer term is starting up again. The parser log is completely empty after a crash.

edit: I don't know what ASLR is
