Tech question

zap · 09-06-2013, 06:55 AM,

I recently lost the WF exe. (corrupted?) file. Right now it just will not start an e-mail game in WF. When I press the play by e-mail button and then the resume button. I get a message saying the WF exe stopped working. This is the only issue. Everything else works.
I want to blame this on a download of a game file? But not sure, it began acting up after I tried to download a file.

My question is. Can I copy the exe file from EF and the put that in replacement of the corrupted WF file. Or is it more involved than that?
If this will work my next question would be where would I find the exe file in the east front.

Thanks in advance for any help

WF.exe, or West Front.exe? No, cannot mix them!!;-)

My only option then is to reload the game?

Send me an email, I'll shoot the two exe's your way! What was the file you DL'd BTW, can you divulge that? Game turn, or some other CS file?

A zipped game file. I think it happened when I unzipped. But I had this problem once before(the same) only the culprit was having the capslock on. I checked that it was not that this time.

FWIW I have gotten a crash like that when accidentally put an EF pbem game turn in WF and tried to open it.

I remember having that happen as well

Just an update. Not sure what the problem was. I attempted to delete the offending file in the WF folder but was not permitted to. Got a message saying needed permission from the Administrator.

Well in the end it seems my computer sent a message to Microsoft. Microsoft sent a fix which deleted the file. Now I can once more access WF for e-mail play
