Zero Editor Runtime Error (XP, Vista, Windows 7/8.x/10) [Solved]

[Frisbeetarian]

It's good to hear that the most recent driver update seems to have fixed some problems for some people. I've been working with echo_66 on his problem and trying the NVIDIA forums (to no avail) and came up with nothing, but I passed this on to him via PM, so we'll see how that turns out.

Now here's something weird: My dad bought a cheap LCD tv for our older gaming systems. The tv has a monitor input on it, so he wanted me to test it with our desktop pc (the vista one). So,with the tv as a monitor, I ran zeroeditor, which gave me the runtime error. Because the monitor is a weird resolution, I changed it to 800 x 600 for troubleshooting, but still got the runtime error. Then, back with the original LCD monitor, with the same 800 x 600 res, zeroeditor ran just fine.

Perhaps people should reset the ZE resolution to what their resolution is! it can be found here at. (for those of you that don't know where its at.)

c:/Bf2_modtools/Data_***/ look for the file named config open it with notepad and look for these lines

windowWidth = 1024
windowHeight = 768

just replace the numbers to what ever your screen resolution is this is just what I set mine to.

but my rez is 1024 by 768...
but should i change it to a different rez (config file)?

[(502)GEN.york]

you need help with the config file? ok you need to change the ZE resolution to what ever your personal monitor screen resolution is.

[501st_commander]

my screen has 1024 x 768 and the config file has 1024 x 768

It might be a driver problem with the monitor (although I think its a graphics driver problem). To update the monitor driver, either search online or go into the device manager and under monitors right click on your display(s) and select update drivers and the automatic option.

Hey guys, I just remember something else I did before I updated my drivers.. I downloaded this

Hidden/Spoiler:

Update to visual c++

I hope this helps you guys it could be the missing puzzle piece.

I just thought of something,
Everyone that got ze to work or you can't can you please post you monitor size (15", 17", 20" ex.) and its resolution. My ze dosn't even fit on the screen and that may cause it to not work. And how do i know this? Sometimes it does pop up the main window and give me the error. Odd isn't it?

and here is mine,
15" monitor with 768x1024 rez at 32 bit color

mods: if this against anything sorry, i just thought that this may be a chance to find out what's wrong with zeroeditor.

make your ZE window smaller like 680x980 or turn your resolution up as high as it will go or a bit higher.

[501st_commander]

i have, it still doen't work..

[(502)GEN.york]

and you did the C++ upgrade? what is your graphics card?

[501st_commander]

1.and you did the C++ upgrade? 2.what is your graphics card?

1. yes
2. NVIDIA GeForce 7500 LE

mmm ok...the thing is I have a feeling my solutions only work on the graphics cards that are similar to me... thanks for the info.

[Warfare32]

wow, well i did a lot of what the recommendations said to do. I changed the resolution of screen/ config file, ran as admin, im currently installing as admin again because i remember the very first time i installed it i did it as admin and ZE worked, then i uninstalled all bf2 stuff because my xfire wont/ still wont launch bf2 through xfire. and then i reinstalled as normal i believe and now it doesnt work... so hopefully it will work this time....

Edit: nm it didnt work, still giving me the runtime error.... wierd...

[(502)GEN.york]

Let me know if it works!

[numanair]

Hey 501st_commander, what driver version do you have for your graphics card?

[501st_commander]

183.?
its the latest one

[Frisbeetarian]

Nope, 185.85 is the latest.

[(502)GEN.york]

Nope, 185.85 is the latest.

I think a update would be good.
