Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

The new Razor update has been causing some problems on Windows Vista/7, which mainly consist of not being able to create new macros or take screenshots, or profiles/macros disappearing altogether. This is because (it appears) Razor no longer makes use of the compatibility folder in Windows Vista/7.

If any of your macros/profiles are gone after the update, try the following:

• Open "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Razor"
• Copy all files/folders to "C:\Program Files\Razor"

If you're unable to create new macros or take screenshots, you can either run Razor with administrator privileges (easiest way), or try changing the Razor folder owner to your user account as follows (alternative way):

• Open "C:\Program Files\Razor", right-click anywhere in the folder and click "Properties".
• Click the Security tab.
• Click Advanced.
• Click the Owner tab.
• Click Edit.
• Select your user account in the "Change owner to:" box.
• Press Apply, then OK about 3 times to close all previous windows.

If "C:\Program Files\Razor" already has subfolders, you may have to do the same for those too.

Edit:
Yet another alternative is to install Razor in a non-Program Files location (thanks to Zlatan for the instructions):

- Back up your original Razor profiles, macros, etcetera.
- Uninstall Razor.
- Reinstall Razor, changing the file path it installs to from "C:\Program Files\Razor" to only "C:\Razor", "D:\Razor" or wherever you want, just not the previous path.
- Copy backed up stuff over.
- Open Razor, test a macro by playing it, and it works!

im not seeing this part i can follow it to C:\Users\username


but i dont see appdata anywhere

Re: Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

now razor is trying to download an update that wants to delete a uo.dll but cant find it to do so

 

[amish_ned]

Re: Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

yeah this blows hard, ive tried deleting and reinstalling, saved the profiles and macros and tried to save them. It seems that they arent picking up the profiles at all. Its also not letting me make new profiles. WTF this shit is annoying as hell.

Re: Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

had same problems. i uninstalled and reinstalled using the outdated install file. everytime the update wants permission i deny it and everything has been working like it used too.

Re: Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

I fucking love you, Emily!

edit--

Wtf, when I go to play a macro it says: Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you clikc Quit, the application will close immediately.

Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Razor\Macros\Misc Action\dfsd.macro' is denied.

EDIT:::

To fix this (^) thanks to Zlatan, I had to-

- Backup my original Razor profiles, macros, etc.
- Uninstall Razor
- Reinstall razor, changing the file path it installed to (from C:/Programs/ to only C:/ [or wherever you want, just not the previous path])
- Copy back up stuff over
- Open razor, test a macro by playing it, and it works.

Not sure if anyone else will have this problem, but I did.

i did this and it seemed to fix the problems i was haveing

Re: Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

I am trying to work with my windows7 but i've tried everything people have suggested and nothing has seemed to work. Damn fustrated

 

[amish_ned]

Re: Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

i just bit the bullet and made all new profiles. Saved my macros, but still a bitch.

Now the probblem i am having, is that when I set the new profile up, half of the settings dont stay. I lose most if not all of the settings, macros, and such. What the eff am I doing wrong, other than using razor?

You cant see the folder. Go to your start menu, and in run (or the search thing in 7)

type C:/users/Anton(use your user here)/Appdata


it will pop up, I promise, unless you type anton, then your retarded.

going to folder options, and then choosing to view hidden and system files also works. in win7, folder options is in "tools". on older windows, it might be in "view". on all, it is in the control panel.

Re: Razor's new update and Windows Vista/7

I finally fixed mine. On running vista, I was having the problem that all of my profiles were gone, none would save when created.. so i completely deleted razor again, reinstalled. Changed y computer user settings to make sure everything was full administrator authority. Changed Razors settings to always run as administrator. and finally somehow it started working correctly. I only wish I would remember what steps i followed to do this..
