Ok... I'm tired of it. Terraria won't open up!
When I click play on terraria it says Terraria - Running on the side of where my games are. I've done almost everything I can think of with the help of others. I've ran Terraria as administrater, done that xna thing, I've reinstalled Terraria. NOTHING IS WORKING! I know this should be in the Terraria section of the forums, but I really want help with this!

Gonna need a bit more details than "not working" please.

Describe in detail exactly what happens after you click "play".
When I hit play, a little screen pops up that says

Do you want to allow this app from and unknown publisher to make changes to your device?

Terraria.exe

Publisher: Unknown

File Orgin: Hard Drive on this Computer

Yes No


If I hit yes, the little screen goes away and on the side where my games are it says Terraria - Running. But nothing pops up. If it hit no the screen goes away and a little screen on steam says

Steam - Error.

Shouldn't be a problem if you are clicking "yes" but that is why I never install Steam under UAC, as in program files, for example.

Post screenshots of each and every program that you have on that computer, please. You can use a site like imgur.com for this as it is free, then post the links here.

We need to see each and every program.

Not to sound rude, but you quoted everything and I cannot know what you are asking about here. Please ask specific questions. Thanks.

Like when you said "all program files" is that all the programs i've installed? Where can I find all of them?

I don't have Windows 10, and you can Google some of this if you want, as that can also speed things up here, with all due respect.

You apparently missed Skype.

Skype is on the list.

Now do this, please.

Go to Windows Start, click it, type in the box msconfig and run the resulting process.

Then go to the services tab in that new window, click "Hide all Microsoft services" and take screenshots of everything that is left.

Hm?

Yes, that looks right. Thanks.

I thought you disabled Avast ? Are you sure you have realtime exceptions for Avast for Steam and games ?

And it needs to be real-time active scanning exceptions, not passive scans that you do manually there. This is very important.

What is that BTDevelopment Manager for ?

Any "manager" and "updater" programs that run in the background, depending on what they are managing and updating, can be suspect. You may not need alot of that stuff running when you game, as it just harms system performance anyway.

Saw a thread here once where the user said his printer processes was causing Steam to crash/not work correctly/not work at all. So look at those also.

There is a problem....Skype Updater. I suggest for now you uninstall Skype and restart the computer. Skype can be reinstalled later if you find it is not causing this.

Restart after any software is uninstalled. Then verify the game files once again, and then try to play again.

What is that SynTPEnh service for ?
