Well it's been a while since reporting on this, but here it is... My trueSpace works again, Yeah!!! In addition to trueSpace not working Some of my Windows 7 Gadgets were also corrupted. I was able to get all of the gadgets working except for the Calendar which had a blank orange display. Despite the posted solutions to the Calendar Gadget issue I just couldn't get it to work. After consulting with Dale Qiao a MSFT Moderator on http://social.technet.microsoft.com" he finally suggested to perform an In-place Upgrade which will not affect settings like photos, movies, documents, etc. that are saved on the computer. The steps are outlined below but keep in mind the following... this was not technically an upgrade since I'm repairing the same version of Windows 7 64 bit, also this will take several hours and you do have to Re-Activate your Windows, but it works.
1.Perform a clean boot in the current operating system.
2.Insert the Windows 7 Installation Disc to your DVD-ROM drive. If AutoPlay pops up, click “Run setup.exe” directly.
3.Click “Install now” on the “Install Windows” screen.
4.In the “Get important updates for installation” screen, it is recommended to select the first option to download latest updates for installation, if Internet access is available.
5.Check the box “I accept the license terms” to agree with the installation license and click “Next”.
6.In the “Which type of installation do you want?” screen, click “Upgrade” to perform the In-Place upgrade.
7.Then, follow the wizard to finish the In-place Upgrade process.

Re: trueSpace 7.x won't run, hangs on splash screen
Congratulations on getting your stuff working again. There was a recent upgrade to the win7 link editor fix, so you might want to get that. The previous version had some memory leaks.

Thanks Clintonman, I'm heading over there now. By the way, your Link Editor solution / fix to an essentially dead product is pure genius.

Re: trueSpace 7.x won't run, hangs on splash screen
me too, did browse the threads to see if it was mentioned but the thread I read was different from what I experienced and I didn't see this one...
just delete "default.ctx" and it started up perfectly... of course that was AFTER I reinstalled 7.61B again, which means all my keyboard mapping and config customizations is gone again
but at least I got it working..
thanks for the help guys...

BTW,
Stan gave us advise years ago that has saved me a few times...
save a backup of your "default.ctx" after everything is set the way you like.
It is like life insurance.

Re: trueSpace 7.x won't run, hangs on splash screen
hmmm, I discovered that I did it for the truespace.key file but not default.ctx ... will try and copy the tS7.6 ctx from laptop and use it for 7.61b, it should work with no problems... can't get 7.61b to work on Vista Pro for some reason so I still use 7.6 there...
