    Sound problem when launching from .exe


    I have a problem with this program (a game), which for some off reason, does not launch with sound enabled.

    However, when I launch it through another program such as GeForce experience, or Raptr, the sound works one time and then refuses to work again after launching for a second time. Though if I were to reinstall the containing program which can launch, the game, it would work, one time.

    So I thought if it would be possible to find out why these programs seem to enable sound for their first pass, but not in there second pass, or why the sound is not working at all.

    I know that the program is tagged as incompatible to Windows when I run the troubleshooter, but other than that, I'm not sure why sometimes the sound works.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Ragnarok Online and Windows 10 compatibility

    Hello and this is what what helped me (after a minute of searching online).

    • Right click on the ragnarok online exe and select compatibility mode with windows 7 or 8, apply and ok and then launch the game.
    • Launch the opensetup exe in the game folder (where you can setup graphics , sound etc) and tick off the fullscreen option, hit apply and ok and then launch the game.
    It should be able to run that way. If that will not work then I will try to find a different solution.

    And on a side note Ragnarok Online is not a browser game.

    Launching a .exe

    I keep on getting this error when it try to launch or install an application, "unable to execute file in the temporary directory. Setup aborted. Error 5: Access is denied"

    I also have checked the permissions in the TEMP directory.

    Sound problem when launching from .exe

    Incompatible programs can have varying results, as you have found out. Its not a "problem" or "fault" with Windows its a problem with the program.

    Best you can do is try to run it in a compatibility mode for whatever OS it was designed for and see if that helps.

    The only issue that I have had with Windows 10 is the sound. In gaming it is OK but all other sounds seem to be coming from a cave.

    Unfortunately, using the troubleshooter doesn't help at all :/
