Are you using the old version of Razor?

[Stroem Safai]

I tryed it dident work ive got the latest version i think unless there is an even newer one

[Aesa]

The new version of Razor doesn't work here.  You have to use the old one.

I installed the old version of razor and tryed running it with the shard and every time it gives me this message

Try reinstalling microsoft .net framework 2.0, I think it will fix that. Make sure you do 2.0

Ah, okay.  I had that problem some time ago when automatic updates were installed.  There is one security update that to .net framework that messes it up for some reason.  Here's the link to the original posting I made and how to fix it.

I went there and looked at it all i tryed installing the .net framework but its not working I still get the same error message, Im not sure if i have to take off the current .net framework or not and least off all im not sure how to take it off

Go into your control panel and add/remove programs.

[Marlenus]

Don't remove .net framework!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact, install .net framework 1, 2, and 3!

It never hurts to have them installed. You might just need them to run a program someday.

As for your razor problems. On vista I've always used the latest razor whether I'm playing on Sylvan or not. No problems at all with it.

Question, how are you connecting? UOGateway or ConnectUO?

[raven]

   is aney one  eles crashing all the time  and  if not  why am i

[Stroem Safai]

I connect through UOGateway

[lenin1928]

Get the newest razor

Start UO through gateway log in

Start razor open a second client log in and it will disconnect your current session.

Now you're using razor with vista.
