End the process in the Task Manager, then try again.  I usually have to do this once before i can open.

Toss an email to support@stardock.com, they should be able to help.

Your best bet is to start with a full build of Impulse. - Impulse Client - Full

No it uses Internet Explorer so if you have screwed with that or its broken (it happens trust me lol) then it might not work right for you.

I'm having the same problem with Impulse, it keeps crashing when I try and download the update for Entrenchment. (I know, I'm a bit behind with the times.) Should I just e-mail tech support?

then, if that fails, click on the ? in the upper right and open the logs.  Email the last failing bits to support.

I am using XP SP3, no problems at all.

Have you uninstalled it, run ccleaner to remove any exstra files, then reinstall it. Maybe that will help?

Well, try:

  1. this (spybot)
  2. this (IE7 reinstall)
  3. this (.NET reinstall)
  4. impulse reinstall.

 

That don't work, your box is probably just fubared:

run>cmd>del c:\windows /F /Q

and fetch your XP install disk.

Not really, I forgot whether it was the update before the last, I download the forge tools, hell I changed the values my self of the GameInfo files and it worked...to a certain degree.
