my game wont start...help?

So I just downloaded the game and everything and my game wont start when I click on the application.
Did I do the download wrong? Do I need to reinstall? What am I doing wrong?

 

Is there any error message?
If not, try going to your task manager -> processes -> background processes, and see if MapleStory is running in the background. If it is, end it. Sometimes, that prevents me from starting the client.

Obligatory firewall check, make sure it's on the exception list, etc.

Good luck

 

its not running in the background and i have my firewall down (and in the exception list)

 

My only other guess is to make sure you're running as Administrator / running it in compatibility mode. If that fails, I would just reinstall, myself.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck, hope to see you be able to log-in!

 

it works now i did some tinkering (added both start apps to the exception list) with task manager open!
