    You might want to post this in the Technical Support forums, but I'd include more details. Have you been able to open the launcher before today? If not, have you tried re-downloading it from the site?

    Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, go into program files (x86) > Zenimax Online > Launcher and try launching from there.
    You might need to redownload the launcher if you cannot find a fix.

    Your operating system and whether or not you are running the launcher in compatibility mode. If you don't know the answers to these questions, I'm betting they might be related to why your launcher is having issues.

    He means, are you using a Mac or a PC. Which operating system are you using (e.g. windows 8 )

    what antivirus are you using? try disabling it then opening the launcher. For me (with AVG) the launcher wont open till after I disable it.
  • TheRiddler
    I am using avg but even when i disable it it wont work
  • TheRiddler
    code how long are you disabling it.

    open the task manager(ctrl+alt+del) double check that all instances of the game are closed (sometimes if they don't open correctly the freeze there). after that click temp disable avg + firewall, if that doesn't work im not sure what to tell ya im afraid =/
  • TheRiddler
    the thing is it goes into task manager but then it disappears...and i have tried to disable avg and my firewall but it still won't work
  • Code65
    Code65
    are you using the right click avg icon and clicking temporarily disable option?
  • TheRiddler
    What would be the difference

  • TheRiddler
