So I tried setting up a new non-admin account, couldn't get THUD to load. So I decided to try on my admin account in case that was messing it up. No dice.
It still says "loading THUD please wait" in that black box, but then nothing loads.
Installed dx10.
Tried to install .NET framework but the installer said I already have it
Firewall is disabled
I put it in C: folder.
Any other suggestions?
