Hello, I am new to the forums, first post actually.
I just downloaded Fable Explorer, and after opening it, it just freezes on the picture with the heroes (you know the one) and I can't do anything.
I am running on XP, and I DID read the Common Problems and Solutions post, which told me that if not running on Vista or 7, that I should un-flag "read only" on my files. Assuming you mean access file properties and unflag it there, I went to do that only for it to be already unflagged.
I have both DirectX 9.0C and .Net Framework 2.0 installed, which I made sure of. Yet the Explorer still freezes at startup.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for any inconvenience if this problem has already been resolved. I hope I was specific enough.
Moderator says----EDIT instead of double post:
Also, I edited my registry like JohnDoe explained in one thread, yet it continues to "freeze" (I know it has an error message behind it).
I edited SetupPath to display the directory Fable is in.

Whoa, hold on, just a damn second. You're saying you've done this solutions, we don't even know if you had the problems that these solutions go to. For instance, you don't go to unmark them as read-only unless you're getting access denied errors. And you don't fix the registry unless you have registry errors.
It seems like you don't know what the error is and I'm guessing you caused more problems than solved. Tell you what, since I'm feeling like a lazy crap today, uninstall Fable, reinstall Fable. Then run FE. If FE stalls on loading, and you hear that iconic error beep sound, and the splash image is just there not doing anything, then press space once or twice until an error message pops up. Then tell us what the error message says.
If FE doesn't hang, then the lesson learned is don't fix what ain't broke.
