Thanks for coming back to me, i really appreciate your help.
i am running Microsoft Windows 10 Home
version 10.0.19045 build 19045
I have turned off (as best I can) windows defender, thats the only security software I have installed its a pretty bare bones install. although I do have the net frameworks installed.
This is the Synchronet version i am using
Installer: sbbs319b.zip [ftp] [mirror] (11MB) (January 2022)
CRC32: cef7558f
MD5: 3c5e28d62aea3c437f4cc4f9e6080f76
SHA1: e38f973ebbc816942588adfcb044c1a644c26a94
I tried running the sbbs.exe (in sbbs exec folder) i get "sbbs.exe - application error the application was unable to start correctly, although this time a black window pops up, black window goes when i click the OK box.
I had no issues during install, only at the end when its finished installing and try and run the software.
When i uninstall i get error sbbsNTsvcs.exe application error
Hope this information helps.
Thank you for your time
Matt
