K, so the DLL error is fixed, so now we need to sort the TB side of it.

So we'll need the contents of STDERR from your toribash directory. Hopefully the game's managed to use the file before dying.

wait i just deleted all the files in the bugged toribash folder (i saved the replays) and uninstalled another one. it seems to have no problems.if there are im gonna post here.

I'm using Windows 7, and yesterday, Toribash worked(I have a stream on Twitch, in case you don't believe me).

Today, though, even if I start it with the plain .exe file in the installation folder instead of the shortcut, I get 'Toribash.exe has stopped responding.'

I have completely re-installed Toribash, and now when I run it, the top of the window says "SDL_app (Not Responding)."
After being in this window, when I go back to the Toribash window, it doesn't have the '(Not Responding)' part.

And, right after typing the word 'part,' Toribash crashed with no warnings.
As in the window closed itself.

I checked the Event Viewer, and it seems to have the same problem as the first one.

And, after starting a different game because I couldn't start Toribash, I get "Your graphics card does not seem to support Shader Model 1.1+. Would you like to swap to OpenGL mode?"
There is some other stuff in the message, but it's just saying that I should click 'Yes' if it's my first time starting it.
Maybe that's related to my problem.

Edit 3:
The second game I was talking about gave me this error message because I couldn't start it:
[spoiler]
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I don't know if spoiler tags work, though.

Turns out spoilers don't work.

But I've got more info:
I think it may be a problem with DirectX.
I started opening some random programs, and none of them started but a game emulator I have.
Fraps gave me this:
"There was a problem initializing DirectX 9.

Please ensure your video drivers are up to date and you have the latest version of DirectX installed."

But I don't know what the current version of DirectX is, or how to update drivers, OR how to check what version of DirectX I have installed.

Though I can just search all of those.

A fifth edit:
It seems no Direct3D or DirectX programs will start, though all of them worked just last night.

Even my NES emulator won't open a game.
'Error opening "CUsers\roboaedin\Desktop\My Programs\Emulators and Related\fceux-2.2.1\ROMs\Legend of Zelda.nes"!'

And I DO own a legitimate copy of that game, just so you know. >,>
But the SNES emulator works. At least I won't be bored forever.

Edit (UNKNOWN):
I logged off of and back on to my user on the computer... and now Toribash has started.

Woah this is an old thread. If you need more help, it'll probably be best to start a new thread. Closing this one, please don't bump threads this old.
