cant start openxcom
« on: January 31, 2017, 08:42:20 am »
Hi I installed openxcom with no problem and after the install I can click the "run openxcom" checkbox and it runs from the install menu but when I try to run it using openxcom.exe i get an error saying D:\Moved My Documents\Openxcom\openxcom.log not found and then I get a prompt saying Openxcom has stopped working. completely vanilla install, no mods. how do i fix this?  I'm using windows 7
