ScummVM windows 7 64x problem!

Tikky · Post by **Tikky** » Sun May 22, 2011 10:37 pm

Whenever I open ScummVM on my Windows 7 64x OS, A command prompt appears for like, a half a second then disappears. Here's what I did...
-1. Used the 32x installer
-2. Downloaded The 64x zip
-3. Deleted contents of the installation folder and pasted the 64x zip files in to there.

Thats what I did at first. I think I did something wrong. Anyone know how to help?

Try starting up a command prompt, changing to the directory you have ScummVM installed in, and executing ScummVM. That way any error message that may be produced will remain on screen, and give you a better idea of what the problem is.

You should install 64-bit programs in the "Program Files" folder. The 32-bit installer would have defaulted to the "Program Files (x86)" folder. It doesn't need to be installed anyway. Just unzip the 64-bit into its own empty folder. If you are not going to use the 32-bit version you don't need to install it.

Ok, here's what it says...

Config file buggy: Invalid Character ' ' occured in section name in line 21!

Thats all... Know how to fix it?

Seems like somehow a buggy settings file was created for ScummVM. You should try deleting it and running ScummVM again. By default it's normally found in

c:\Users\<Account Name>\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM

The only thing I can think of is that you have another corrupt ScummVM.ini somewhere on your system. I mean, if the file had been correctly deleted, it wouldn't be able to read anything and have an error on line 21. Try doing a system wide search for scummvm.ini files, and delete any you find.
