so um ya. no clue what your saying. 
the download gave me this

desktoplauncher.jar 452 kb

i ended up manually unzipping it and i got a bunch of files but no real thing to launch it with.
it gave me 3 folder called  com, resources and meta-inf

this .bat text file. what do i use to make it and were in this folder do i stick it?

my wifes pc is newer and it was just more or less click and play.

Try this, create a new folder and put the Launcher.jar file inside it. Open up notepad and type “java -jar Launcher.jar” without the quotations. Go to file > save as > drop menu, select “All files,” and type “launch.bat”, without the quotes, and hit save. Can you post what error message you’re getting? I’m assuming you have Java installed but you don’t have the environment variable set, please see this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/167 … stallation

Or, if that is a bit too difficult, go back to the .bat file we created and replace the word “java” with “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\java” but obviously update this directory to wherever you have it installed on your computer . Hope this helps!!

so what is the latest version of java? on my xp computer its i think running 7.? something or other.  i see there is some java 8 but i cant seem to get it to do anything with my xp. is 8 for a diff version of windows?

“java -jar Launcher.jar” without the quotations. Go to file > save as > drop menu, select “All files,” and type “launch.bat

i try it an a smallish screen pops up for a slipt second then vanishes. don't work

go back to the .bat file we created and replace the word “java” with “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\java”

Same result as above.

took alook and thats way over my head. its gibberish to me.

Yeah sorry man it’s difficult to explain over text
My next suggestion (and probably the easiest) would be what the gentleman before me stated, have n0m set it up for you over teamviewer.. good luck hopefully you can get online very soon

get on discord and ask n0m then? he fixed mine in 2 minutes

o0o i guess i missed a reply from n0m in discord. perhaps today will work better
