You can't open the editor? Or you can open the editor you just can't run games?

I'd assume he is unable to open trans3.exe either on it's own or from the editor, the information he provided is a little vague.

Anyway ask yourself these questions:

If you are using Windows 7 is the trans3.exe set to run in compatability mode? (Windows XP)
Is the engine set to run as administrator?
Does the file exist?
Have you killed the rundll.exe process in the taskmanager before opening the engine? (Although this could have other side effects when trying to access dll files I believe).

If none of these fix your problem then try providing a little more information such as a screen etc. That would probably make the problem a little clearer for us

That one is a big one! I ALWAYS have to end rundll or the games never play.

I tried in compatability modes and as admin.
I have no rundll in the taskmanager.
Trans3 exists.

Trans3 shows up in the taskmanager when i try to run it from the exe or from within toolkit. Either way, no actual window appears. It worked before, so it just suddently stopped working for me. And its been like this for some weeks now.

Windows 7 64bit.

Dude... it seriously sounds like rundll.exe.... That's exactly what happens when it's running. The trans3.exe shows up in the taskmanager and just sits around 5000kb memory usage but the window never shows. Then when I disable rundll.exe the window pops up and the game starts.

If it's not that then I have no idea. I've never used Windows 7, much less a 64bit operating system.
