VRC freezes upon startup

I just upgraded to Windows 7.

 

After I start VRC, create a profile, and restart it again, it freezes. Everytime. I've tried reinstalling VRC multiple times, but that did not work.

Did you try running it as an administrator?

I fixed it. The security settings for my VRC.ini weren't set to full control.

Okay. That didn't do it.. Honestly. It worked last night. Then, I came on just now and it is still freezing. And I determined that it only freezes when I open up a session profile. If I open up the default profile, I have no problems. I even tried running it from my desktop (installing it to my desktop).

 

Also, this is how the icon looks on my desktop.

EDIT: Still doesn't work.

 

Please. Anyone know why my VRC is doing this upon startup of a profile?

I figured it out!

 

No one of my profiles were working, and the only one that worked was the Default one.

 

So I thought... what do they all have in common..

 

The Alias file.

I'd love a copy of that alias file so that I can make VRC (and vSTARS) handle it more elegantly.

It's funny because the alias file worked when I used XP. Since I went to 7, it is "corrupt." I'd appreciate it if you checked it and see what is wrong with it..

 

What is your email address? I'll send you a copy.

 

I did test one of my profiles with another alias file, and it worked.. so that is also how I came to that conclusion.
