This LSPN does not work

[HHz Refugee]

Back to square one; Had this prob since the beginning. I have setup port forwarding. I have instructed firewall to allow Links. I have submitted Links Sports Net as a Trusted Site. I've read all posts and I don't see a remedy. I can't host or join a game. I can refresh until the cows come home, still not gonna work.

Here's the error message I get:

"The Directplay game could not be launched: 80070057 failed to start application"

Please help me out. I want to make full use of LSPN and even contribute.

Have you allowed "pop-ups"?

Could it possibly be a problem with DirectX. For some reason mine went flaky today and I was receiving a similar error. I went to start, then run and typed in dxdiag(to try and troubleshoot) and it showed a file was missing. So off to Microsoft downloads for DirectX 9.0C. Downloaded and restarted the pc after the install, just to be on the safe side. Now I am back in business.

If only they had an autosnap download...I looked.

I'm certain that at this point, the problem is in the egolaunch application. I have done the port forwarding, upgraded to DirectX 10, pulled the firewall down, defeated anti-virus, anti-spyware, pulled Internet Security down to medium low, tried FireFox, re-installed Links and just for good measure, I put my fist through the case. Heh, I needed extra ventilation anyway.

What kind of set up do you have that you need a specially tweaked launcher? I know my router and I have issues and I can't host because of them, but I can still join.

This may work for you.Delete all temp files and cookies/open "regedit" and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then to SOFTWARE and delete this.."Ricken"(thats the game launcher for here).Log back into the site and fire up a game.When you launch you will have to reinstall the launcher so ask anyone going with you to wait a bit before ticking on the launch button.Hope this works for you Ref.
