Still doesnt work as Administrator either.
However, I do use a program for my VPN called PIA (Private Internet Access) and when I set it up and my firewall complained about it, it is also Ruby based, so not sure if that could somehow cause a conflict. It may not sound like it might, but since RMXP uses system globals (like fonts), I wonder if the two might conflict? I did exit the VPN program, and still didnt get any results. Perhaps Adobe Flash? I messed with some of the geek config settings, namely "DisableDeviceFontEnumeration", and think Flash shouldnt cause a conflict, but perhaps Font Enumeration? Some sort of other Windows permission? AVG? All disabled for testing, and no luck on anything I've tried. Shortcuts are not set to run in compatability mode, the advanced text services are not turned off. Just related things, but dont seem to have any impact...
