    Default new problem with launcher

    i am sure its vista related ......
    i hit the shortcut and it goes through all the steps
    and then poofs disappears and pops up that
    Turbine Launcher needs permission
    click continue
    launches launcher
    runs through every step
    then disapears
    asks for permission
    and so forth non stop

    This may seem counter-intuitive...

    Open up the Properties tab for your DDO shortcut, go to Compatability, and make sure you do NOT have 'Run this program as an administrator' checked.

    With it checked on my computer, I get the UAC alerts from hell you mention, unchecked everything's dandy

    I have tried to unclick everything and the problem still is there.
    only solution I have found is to reinstall
    but the problem only happens after i disconnect from playing and try to get back on again be it 1 minute or 1 hour

    Check the following files for the "Run as admin" checkbox:

    dndclient.exe
    turbinelauncher.exe
    turbineinvoker.exe

    It definitely sounds like a permissions issue after the game patches.

    yes all three have permision as suggested
    the problem still persits

    if i repair the folder ( basically reinstall) everything works after i set three files permission launcher loads updates and i can sign in
    after i get done or something unfortunate disconnects me I can restart no problem watch it go through every step and see my sign in qand than it disappears and asks for permission.
    It already has it
    There is no other copies running in task manager jsut the one i am in

    Try creating a new standard user account in Vista and logging in to DDO from that account.

    If you are able to, this would indicate an issue with UAC (a built in security feature of Vista).
