TOPIC: Starter.exe stopped working

Re: Starter.exe stopped working 09 Feb 2013 07:54 #6997

I haven't had time to reinstall the game but now before the screen turns black when I run the program, the loading screen for city car driving appears and then briefly says "Some files were deleted"I think... Then the screen turns black and starter.exe stopped working pops up etc... Plus I can't find programs and components in control panel... (Fail) IF anyone knows if seeing the loading screen before the game crashes makes a difference please tell me, and where programs and components are...

Nevermind, that's what happens when I use the older version of the game not the new patch... I still need to know how to uninstall it from control panel. I think I may know and I will try soon when I have nothing else to do.
8SORRY FOR THE REPOST! :(

ok I will do that but I need to know how to get to programs and components because for some reason I can't find it. I have Programs: Uninstall a Program and that usually works but City Car Driving is not in there...

I know this is an old thread, but perhaps it will help someone in the future.
Upon starting the program for the very first time, I saw a black screen for about 5 seconds and then a crash... "Starter.exe has stopped working... A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly..."
I read the comment above me, regarding the deletion the "Multisoft" folder. I didn't even know that folder existed, so naturally I thought I was about to have reinstall for the second time deleting that folder this time. but inside "Ducuments > Multisoft > City Car Driving" I found a log file.
At the end of that log I saw this bit of information:
"cJoystickEffect::createDirectInputEffect - CreateEffect failed"
And that was it... nothing else happened after that

So... I unplugged my gamepad, restarted the program and Voila! Problem solved... It's incompatible

Needless to say I'm quite disappointed that I can't use my gamepad, but I'll be looking for solutions to that, now that I know why the program wouldn't start

So anyhow, Mahkizmo, I hope you've found a solution, since 2 years ago (:D) but if you haven't or if you gave up but want to try again this may be a solution for you and for others. Make sure your hardware is compatible.

PS- I'm using a spliced original XBox gamepad... I'll try changing the registry key to something compatible and just hope I can calibrate my pad, but assuming that doesn't work I'll be relying on the comunity to help me get this sorted out. Thanks in advance :)

I have the final solution: You have to delete this file: 'player_cars.xml' from (C:)> Programs> City Car Driving> Data> Config>

No... then you can't have car mods or the actual game. Are you trying to break his game.
