Here is what the emulator is saying:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Cannot load the "RichEd20.DLL" DLL into memory.

It has been working before.. It started to do it lately. And by lately i mean a frikkin long time ago. I do not know why and I do not know if it is user error because it may be that i did upgrade my cpu (I Am NOT running even a MID to LOW range pc) and i did not format it because of some other technical issues and didnt want any data wiped so yea...
Also whenever something crashes my windows error reporter instead of showing me what problem it has it immediately jumps to "Searching for online solutions" Which is Super annoying and frustrating and I have many times re-enabled and disabled it but still it doesnt have any effect. I probably could have fixed many issues that i have if my damn error reported didnt jump to online solutions....
 
Try installing the latest version of Microsoft's .net Library. Basically, there's a textbox (think text entry) control somewhere in the starting interface that requires code from this dll to initialize. The dll can't be found, ergo, it cannot initialize, hence the crash.

I would also attempt a re-install with admin privileges specifically indicated; do this for both the emulator and .net.
 


Hi there, Thanks for the answer but I apparently cannot install later versions of .net framework from version 4.5.2... It looks like I am missing some windows 7 updates. (yes i am running windows 7 x64 bit). The reason being for not having latest updates installed is because whenever i have windows update services enabled, it eats up all of my ram (I only have 2 gigs of ram and as i said i am not running even a mid to low end pc). Right now I am going to manually hunt down any missed windows 7 updates and install them, followed by also installing latest .net framework. I will reply if anything changed.
