Answer 1

If you are using Windows Vista, you will experience some unique problems in running Rappelz.

1. First of all, you will want to add Launcher.exe and SFrame.exe to your Data Execution Prevention (DEP) list. To do this, just follow this path:

- open the Control Panel

- click on System

- click on Advanced System Settings (last item on the list at the left hand side of the window)

- a window with 5 tabs will pop up. In the first section of the tab that is visible (Advanced), click the settings button

- another window with 3 tabs will pop up. Click the third tab (Data Execution Prevention)

- click the "Add" button near the bottom of the window and browse for the programs you want to add to the list

2. The common problem you asked about: the Win98UpdateUtil.exe issue. There are several ways to fix this problem. First of all, you can find the Win98UpdateUtil.exe file in your Rappelz folder and run it, which will start the game. Second, you can right click on the Rappelz icon and select "Run as Administrator". Or, third, you can permanently fix this by selecting User Accounts in the Control Panel and disabling the User Account control (the last item on the menu in the center).

Hopefully these suggestions will help you to get Rappelz working on your computer.

Please note that most of these fixes require access to an administrator account.
