Viva Pinata launch

Hello

I bought Viva Pinata on PC to play earlier. I finally decided to play tonight and installed it but it does not work.

I click on the VP icon and my PC is running away with the disk drive turning a moment then nothing. Nothing appears on the screen, my PC just sits there. If I double click on the VP icon one more time, I just get an error message on the screen saying "already another instance of Via Pinata runs.

I have already searched these forums to see if there is an answer and found this thread:

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-gaming/unable-to-play-Viva-Pinata/6069b0e0-0eef-4302-8188-1e6ae5f967bf

but it does not work. I have no folder 'Forest' in the directory. C:\Users\Forest\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Games\Viva Pinata.

Instead, I C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Games\Viva Pinata, but there is no file "Startup.xml.

I don't understand what is happening, something is there / running of the onscreen error message.

I use Windows 7 with a PC perfectly updated.

Can anyone help? And please keep in mind that I'm not aware of PC technical!

Thank you

I actually managed to make it work - I found a solution on another forum, but I can't now to post the link.

Basically, he said,

Open Start menu and type "msconfig".

Select it and click on the 'Services ' section.

Uncheck 'Received Services' to stop it being run, then 'apply '.

Restart the PC and the game will run.

Once finished playing, the same process and turn it back on.

It is a hassle to have to go through this every time, but at least his job... at least for now.

Thank you.

  • Why can't I save my game on viva piñata?

    It is said at the beginning that I need to make a user profile in order to save my game and press HOME to do this.  But I can't make a profile of the user.  I tried pressing the HOME button on my keyboard, but it does nothing.

    I had the same problem running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    This response has helped me solve the problem:

    Now, with the race games for Windows Marketplace and your authenticated account.
    launch of Viva Pinata
    -> You don't need to press HOME, Windows Live is detected and connection is available in the game
    * Sign in to Windows Live Id (verification of password and e-mail)

    I then restarted the computer, 2 updates have been installed.
    I can now start the game without having to connect or launch games for Windows Marketplace more. Connect to Windows Live Id is automatic at the launch of Viva Pinata.

  • iTunes v12.5 crash with webkit.dll on launch

    I had a Windows 7 PC that I currently v12.4 iTunes running without any problem. During the upgrade to iTunes v12.5 crashes instantly to launch registration module webkit.dll as cause. I had this problem several times with older versions of iTunes and incompatibility with Intel integrated video card drivers. Force the system to use an outboard video piece of card and things very well. On this system of rear bearing to v12.4 iTunes everything worked perfectly. A new installation of iTunes v12.5 even after removal of all Apple related files and registry entries and iTunes v12.5 blocks exactly the same way.

    Apple has an obvious bug in v12.5 that needs to be crushed. As it doesn't seem to be a bug submission system mere mortals who have access, I can only hope someone from Apple sees this (I'm not holding my breath) and puts it in their system. FYI, Apple, I really want to buy a new iPad Pro 12.9 ". But until there is a version of iTunes that runs on my PC AND supports iOS10, I can't get back my money. AKA, there is a financial loss to the company for bugs not crushed.

    Thank you!

    -EM

    I have this problem and have tried the recommended fixes I could find. I uninstalled everything apple, deleted and any preferences directory Apple that I can find, rebooted, itunes installed as an administrator (or not) and it still don't work when you try to connect to the store. I have Visual Studio is installed on my machine, when it asks "Debug"?, I say yes, and I get a message like "Exception thrown in 0x00007FFC71F25E36 (WebKit.dll) in iTunes.exe: 0xC0000005: location 0 read access violation x 0000000000000000'."  It would be nice to solve this problem.

    Hello

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after software update.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try iTunes.

  • IPhone camera on the launch 7 - gel


    The native iphone camera app 7 takes 5 to 20 seconds to launch.

    To reproduce the problem:

    (1) open the native camera application.

    (2) close the app native camera by pressing a button at home (important: do not remove the camera app from applications recently used in multitasking).

    (3) make 5 calls or more, each call 10 seconds or more. For example to call your voice mailbox to simulate a day calls.

    (4) after the calls, open the native camera of the lockscreen app.

    The video below demonstrates the problem:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=tnhVNhjxfcI

    In this video, it's 5 seconds freeze on iphone 7 (seen at 01:42 from the video). The freezing of the camera is linked to the amount and duration of the calls, more appeals - more it takes to launch camera. The gel may go up to 20 seconds.

    I encounter this problem on iphone 7 (ios 10.0.1) as well as on the iphone 6 s (from 8 IOS iOS 10).

    I have to very good reason to believe, that all 7-6 s iphones are affected by this bug and it can be fixed by restarting, reset, DFU, replacement of new apple id or by phone: I tried to do all these steps several times with my iphone 6 s and it did not help. This issue can be resolved only by Apple developers.

    Please submit this bug to Apple directly under the following link (as it seems that they do not react to our discussion forums): http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

    This thread is designated for iphone 7 and 7 more.

    The same camera with the 6s iphone problems are discussed in the next big thread since October 2015: shift camera iphone 6s

    The purpose of this thread is to share and spread over the issue, as well as make Apple notice and respond to the concerns of its users in correcting this bug.

    I was part of the iPhone 6s camera gal as well original thread.  My new 7 256 GB iPhone did the same mentioned in your question/statement.  I also reported the bug with the link you provided.  This seems to happen only for the 6 s 6 s 7 and more.  I have restored my backup on a normal iPhone 6 and this problem did not repeat after over a month of use.
