it still doesnt work on MapleSEA. any smart geniuses out there?

For the US version of Maple Story, simply run under Vista compatibility mode (no service pack) and check the run as admin box.

Works for me. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

maple Compatability Win 7
 

After my download of Maple, I logged on successfully for 2 days, then the Dec 22nd News update occured. So I Followed the suggestion to " login as Admin and Win 7 set to Win XP Svcpack 3" ...Maple logs on, shows the screen to 3 seconds and closes with error messege: Server not available or Hackshield or a Korean error messege. I suspect my WIN 7 is not emulating Win XP properly or Nexon has put security measures in place which are causing this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You can say whether or not the post right above yours helped. =/

I don't understand how people look right past stuff like that.

maple Story Compatibiliy W Windows 7
 

Tried every combination Win XP, Vista all SVC Packs with & w/o Admin...no luck with Maple story. Maple Story logs all the way in to the screen, then shuts down after 3 seconds: error messege says- " Server not available" I have other XP copmputers running Maple now on line.

Any other ideas what to change?

Ok just got a computer today with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit pre-installed and i tried loading Maplestory off my jumpdrive... Jumpdrive is formatted off a windows xp so i figured it'd work... well didnt let me so i tried downloading off the maplestory site... I tried the main method (quick method) and it says
"MSDownloaderv80.exe is not a valid win32 application"

now heres the problem... i try running in Windows xp service pack 3 and Windows vista (no service pack) with admin turned on and it gives me this error... currently i am downloading the old long way (all the files at once) and hoping this works... anybody having this problem that could help me install?

thanks!

Maplestory on Windows 7
 

I have been working on this for 2 days now...Also I have downloaded MS twice, I have read every thread on the WEB and tried every combination of Win XP, with various Srvc packs, admin on, admin off, firewalls off, ...no luck yet making MS work.

I suspect this: I have Win 7 Home Premium and it may not be able to emulate Windows XP...however, according to the comparison chart Win 7 Professional can emulate these different modes. I will call tomorrow and find out if I need to spend money to upgrade to Win 7 Pro
Comparisons shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions

I U solve this puzzle please reply...

Windows 7 Home Premium WORKS (as is) with Maple Story!
 

Be Aware:
1) Win 7 Home Premium cannot emulate Vista or Windows XP BUT the tabs are there and so are the selections. These modes only work with Windows 7 Profesional.
2) Norton Anti Virus, even in its bare bones form of trial versions, WILL confuse/block/interfere with Maple Story. Remove Norton completely. Symantec has a program download to remove and eradicate all traces of Norton. Keep an eye on your other antivirus programs.

After removing Norton AntiVirus, MapleStory works perfectly with Win 7 !!!

can you please give me proof that if you delete your antivirus programs that maplestory will work???

I've tried all of these.
But I have MapleEurope.
Any ideas?
