Problem: Ok....I'm getting the "429" error when I execute hyperlobby. I followed the FAQ's instruction and tried running aping.exe and dexec.exe but when i run them I get the error "Unexpected error; quitting" for both. I went through and tried to get all the info I could on my PC, here you go.

I'm guessing the issue is with the dll libraries ctl3d.dll and ctl3dnt.dll although i don't know so i posted here.

Those dll was used in win9x. Forget it.

There is a lot of things that can screw an application under windows OS. 99% of the problems solve OS reinstall. Have you tried it ? I dont kow solution for problem you have described ...

Well it seems my computer was a little more screwed up than expected (and it seems to have happened all in one hit lol)

I did a complete reformat...repartitioned and everything...works fine now.

Thanks Very Happy
