I need help with a technical issue I am having. Everytime I switch my computer on and try to open Angelloader I get an error message so I have to reinstall it everyday to play again. I just got my pc back from the store a few weeks ago, where they did a format (don't know the word in english) and told me everything is good to go. The problem with Angelloader started soon after. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Is the game installed in a folder like c:\Program Files? Folders with this or similar names are frequently controlled by Windows, which can lead to problems.
By the way, what does the error message say?

No I made sure to install it on a separate folder as the instructions said. And now that I tried to get the error message again to see what it says,it won't let me cause the angeloader icon is just a "blank page icon" I can't open it. I don't know what could be the cause,this is my 5th installation of thief and angeloader on 3 different pc's,this is the first time I have this problem. Also this time I cannot,for the life of me,find how to create a shortcut of angeloader on my desktop so I just 'pin' the program down on the bottom of the screen and open it from there. Maybe this is the problem?

Thank you for the answer. It is already installed :confused:

Some files could be corrupted, so it's worth trying a reinstall (or Repair, using Control Panel, Programs and Features if that option is available).

Broken links definitely won't help, but without the error message all that can be done to fix the problem is guess. Here's what I'd do to try to get that error message: 1) Unpin the broken icon from your taskbar 2) Locate your angelloader install location, 3) run AngelLoader.exe straight from the install location. (Incidentally you can create a desktop shortcut by right clicking on `AngelLoader.exe` -> Send To -> Desktop).

I'm sorry but I don't remember what the error message said because I am not a native speaker. It only appeared 2 times. I don't get the error anymore,just a broken icon anytime I restart my computer and I do everything as you said everytime to be able to play. I reinstall it everyday basically.

No worries, next time you see the error message can you write it down or take a screenshot?
Also, are you re-pinning AngelLoader.exe to your taskbar every time you reinstall? If not, the icon might be broken because it's associated with an old installation that got deleted.

Sure if I ever get the error message I will write it down.
And yes,I always delete the broken icon from the taskbar,I reinstall angelloader,repin it again and next time I restart my computer the pinned icon is broken again.
