I can't use programs that require .NET Framework.

I'm trying to use a program that has previously worked flawlessly. This program is called GHTCP, which is used with Guitar Hero 3 PC. It requires .NET Framework 2.0 or higher to use. All of sudden, the program just stopped working. I asked to program creator about this, and he said that it sounds like a .NET Framework so here I am.

I'm running Windows Vista. I've tried uninstalling and then installing .NET Framework 3.0 but thats not working. I found that .NET Framework is part of the OS so I can't remove it. Is there any way aside from repairing/reinstalling Windows that I can fix this?

    I may not have said so in previous posts, but when I tell you that I've done that means that I've done it. When I tell you it didn't do anything, it means it didn't do anything. You people are so infuriating.

    I would restore if, like the user above me said, this question wasn't TWO MONTHS OLD. I have no restore points that far back anymore, or else I would have already done so.

    Here's how you can actually help me:

    1. Close Notepad, stop copying and pasting your official Knowledge Base answers that haven't helped at all
    2. Look at my problem for yourself, read the posts, and look what I've gone through
    3. Try to actually help me

    If no one can help me, then just say so. I'm sick of Microsoft, and I'm sick of this pathetic excuse as a "support" forum. Learn to do your job.

    O.M.G. DUDE, you got a lot of responses! I did not read them all and I do not know if this will work, but go into your services and see if the .Net Framework 4 is on. I noticed that mine was not on (when I had a problem similar to yours) but after I started it, my .NET Framework 4 kept stopping in Windows 7. I hope this helps and good luck!

    I've tried that before but it gives me an error saying the following:

    "The Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.3019_X86 service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."

    I'm not sure how to get around that one either.

    Please start your OWN thread and detail your problem exactly - complete with full error messages received.

    Without that sort of data we have no chance of troubleshooting your problem - and joining the tag-end of 1 18-month dead thread is not going to help either.
