Thanks for the lovely update, guys

Though, I'm having some problems with it. Or, not really me, but a friend of mine is. I convinced her to give XPS a try, and so she installed the XNA framework and downloaded the XPS zip. Opening XPS for the first time and everything worked great, but as soon as she closed and reopened it, it gets and error and crashes immediately.

She deleted it and upzipped again, and it did the same thing. Worked the first time, then as soon as she closes and reopens it, it resumes getting and error and crashing.

She has Windows 7, but thought maybe the problem was the .NET framework, and so she went to go download that, but then THAT got an error during installation.

Any suggestions? :saddummy:

Thanks for the replies. I've sent them off to her, as well as asking for a screenshot, and she said she'll get one soon. ^^; She just bought a new laptop, so she said she wants to see if XPS works on that first.
I'll get back to ya with the screenshot if it doesn't. :)

Next what he can try:
- Remove XNA.cfg
- Start XPS
- Toggle Options-->Save settiings to OFF

Alright, she got her new laptop, with Windows 8, and it was having the exact same problem. She followed your instructions and removed XNA.cfg and turned Save Settings off, and now it works fine. :) Thank you!

If you're still curious of the error, for future reference or whatever, I'll post it here.

I'm glad it works. Thanks for this reply :huggle:

The
"curious of the error" happens because the XNA framework by Microsoft a written for "full screen" games ... with "non resizable" screen resulution and XNA use a "polling system". XNALara/XPS allowed resizable windows and this use a "event system".
Both techniques are very different. Sometimes it happen timing problems. Your error screen shows such a issue.

I use also Windows 7.
Be sure to install only the XNA framework release 3.0 www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo… as administrator.
Like txXFreakyUnderworldXx  says, a sreen of the error message (details) helps a lot.
