Elma 1.2 has some issues on my machine
Hi,
I have been having some trouble with the Elma 1.2 patch. I currently have Elma 1.0, and I finally decided to go to 1.2. However, when I use the patch, I follow the instructions exactly, but then when Elma starts, it's got this gray screen thing, and I can't do anything. I wasn't able to undo this, so I basically deleted it (thank goodness I backed up my files!), and now play from an executable that technically isn't recognized by my computer (because it thinks Elma was uninstalled.)
I'm running Vista (blech, but anyway), could this have anything to do with it? Also, should I reinstall it before trying again?
Thanks!
P.S. I'll be trying to fix this, so if I fix it I'll post something letting people know. Thanks again!

Sanity is a carrot. You find it green and easy to find but the deeper you go, it turns funny colors and narrows down to nothing.

Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately I still get the grey-screen thing. I tried all resolutions from the highest to the lowest, and it still grey-screens me. However, I did see something promising, which was when I started the elma12.exe file, the background that says "elasto mania" all over it popped up on part of my screen for a fraction of a second. It was strangely colored, but still greenish. Just more of a lime green, which happens with 1.11hb when I minimize elma, start something random like windows media player, and then go back to elma.

I've had that problem too, you're not alone. For me it would start up for a second, then minimize and refuse to come back. I had to click the taskbar icon a load of times (right, left, left, right, left seemed to work most) but after a reformat it was alright. Its happened a few times though, no idea what causes it.
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without their motives being questioned.

I've had that problem too and it got fixed when I started Elma in windowmode with the program D3DWindower. The program is pretty old and it's in japanese, but it works fine. Don't know if it works on Vista tho, give it a try. You need to press the "+" button and find your elma.exe and then restart the program, then have elma.exe selected and press the computer icon.

Thanks for all the help! I never actually tried backing up and then deleting state.dat, but the problem somehow solved itself!
Thread closed, I guess...
