Just before you read this, read this little snip-it.
"meh alot of people in todays society cant think for themselfs, i blame education.
also anyone with a 3 didget iq is average/above (100 is average)
so its not really an insult XD, but for everyone out there i got a little hint for you, GOOGLE, and use logic for your problems, find what the error is about and see whats different with yours than everyone elses..."

I did Google it, and I found no help concerning my problem whatsoever.

Anyways. To the problem.
Whenever I try to open the .exe, it pops up and there's no error message. However, all that appears is a big, white box. I'll upload a screenshot in a sec. Any ideas?

..Did you try open a model file from the MPQ browser? It will be light gray when no model is opened.

[Hero_Lief]

No, it isn't light gray... Just plain white.

Ughhh. Just a moment, gotta fix my Print Screen button.

EDIT: It be fixed now.

You using Mac?

 

[donut3.5]

Considering he has the minimize/restore/close buttons on the right side of the screen, I think it's just safari on windows.
On Mac, it wouldn't even start; it would ask what application you wanted to run the .exe file with.

[Hero_Lief]

Yeah, using Safari on Windows. It's teh uberness.

Anyways, okay it partially works when trying to view a model, but it doesn't have the three buttons, minimize, restore, and close on the top right, it doesn't have them anywhere, and theres no like [File][Edit][View][Help] or anything of the sort. Apparently, searching, people are having trouble 'installing' it. How would you install it?

 

[donut3.5]

Well, there shouldn't be any.. installation instructions per say.. you might be missing a vital .dll, but I don't know the ones required for Magos.
Here is something in the FAQ:

I get an "Unable to create a Direct3D Device!" error message!
Make sure you have DirectX9 installed! Some rare cases have occured where people with DX9 still gets this error and it seems like it's caused by integrated graphics cards. If this is the case for you I have no support for it, sorry!

I would try redownloading it, just for good measure.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be wrong.

[Hero_Lief]

Yeah, oh well. I'll try running it on a diff comp. Sometimes wc3 edits change from my pc to my laptop, my laptop can't load the mpq but it can load vertexmodify which the pc can't

 

[FrozenInfernal]

i had the very same problem but i found out why, if you have a alien ware turn your AlienGuise off if you have one but if you don't i don't know then

 

[Hero_Lief]

Turn my AlienGuise off? NEVAHHHHH
I guess I can try it on my laptop, honestly I never tried it on there =p

 

[3rgytr54]

Also, where is the .exe file? That can screw up some things too--
