So yeah, as indicated in the title EVE is just not working on my PC. 

When will it be fixed, can it be fixed, I have no idea. I've found nothing useful on the web and am still waiting for word back from tech support.  So for now, N'maro will be taking a long time out, IC reason will probably be thought up on the spot when I get back on.

In any case, if anyone has any idea about why EVE wont work on windows 7 or on a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop, do share it with me please

All I'm getting is "CCP ExeFile is not responding" before even getting to the login screen.

Hopefully see you all soon!

Also, I feel I should say that this problem only started after I'd installed a new Operating System on the computer in question.

My laptop had previously been a victim of Windows Vista. Having finally lost patience with it, I decided enough was enough. I bought a copy of Windows 7 and installed it.

[Louella Dougans]

was it working before ?

have you tried reinstalling ?

[Nmaro Makari]

Yep, reinstall, completely by the book, uninterrupted, still the same problem

If you don't mind, could you give the specs for you machine?

(Also, in case you haven't already, I reccomend an all-around driver update).

[Nmaro Makari]

In Wales atm, away from my comp. Will post the specifics when I get a chance, give it a day.

Nmaro,

A couple of blanket things to try with Windows 7, if these don't work, you can always hit me up in email or something, I do technical support for a living so I'll hopefully come up with something eventually.

As stupid as it sounds, sometimes trying to run something in administrator mode fixes the problem.

Also, if you are using a 64 bit operating system, make sure that EVE is installed in Program Files(x86) not Program Files, this tells Windows to run it as a 32-bit application, not a 64-bit one.

Lastly, try loading into safe mode and running it from there, if it works in safe mode, then one of your preliminary programs or drivers is causing a conflict with the program and that's causing it to hang and crash.

[Nmaro Makari]

Fixed. Sort of.

Sincere thanks to Malcolm for his help
