Greetings, fellow forum frequenters. I have recently decided to return to Fiesta and have installed Fiesta on my beloved computer. My computer is running Windows 7 and blows Fiesta's recommended system requirements out of the water, so to speak. Upon opening the Outspark launcher and logging in, I have received the following error:

My computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit edition. I have checked the recommended system requirements and have found that my computer should be able to run the game. I have also checked my internet connection, and can now declare with absolute certainty that it is functioning properly, as well.
Word on the forum is that Fiesta no longer has difficulty running on Windows 7, so do not waste my time and patience by posting idiotic comments referring to my particular operating system's supposed inability to run Fiesta.

Again, my computer is more than capable of running Fiesta. After searching the Outspark forums, I could find no problem exactly the same as mine already posted. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Please do not complain about the screenshot. I could find no way to make it bigger. Believe me, it was larger before I uploaded it.

This is the only thing I will say, and you won't believe me.

There are still some errors with windows 7 and Fiesta. For the most part it works. I have never heard of, in my almost two years doing this, of Vista, x-trap, windows XP, a virus, or a system error generating this message. I believe it has to do with your Windows 7 Ultimate, the other people posting in here have made Fiesta to work with Windows 7. I'm not completely sure if they are different or not, but if there is, you may want to look at that.

I have heard of your troubleshooting ability... Care to "say" more?

Ah, I see... I now believe it has something to do with my particular Fiesta installation. I have tried uninstalling it, but I received the following error:

Outspark Fiesta uninstall

Aborting patch. Could not find the apps.conf file at C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Outspark

EDIT: After evaluating my options, I have decided to uninstall Fiesta using the "Add or Remove Programs" dialog. So far, this has been successful. I'll try reinstalling it. When I am finished, I will post on my progress.

Actually, if you really want to remove Fiesta, go into your program files, and remove the Outspark folder. Stops leftover traces from interfering with your next download.
