:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :suicide:
I'd need to do a few bong hits before undertaking that approach, Archie. I don't know if I'd screw it up or what. Well, maybe I'll give it a spin in a day or so. For now, I think I'll just sit on that one, and review the ACG video on how to set up my controls for BoX. :oops:
But I know your heart is in the right place, so thank you for that.

Flatten the box - it's the only way to be sure (as a Colonial Marine said once)!

Get yourself some Drive Image software (Paragon Drive Image 15 for example). Install Windows - take an image. Install BLITZ, get it working - take an image, etc, etc. Take as many images as you like. Large 2nd Drive recommended to keep them on.

Next time you have a problem. Instead of running all over the Internet in search of snake oil and hacks. Re-install your image of choice. Within 15 minutes you will be back at your previous working (name your game here) installation.

Thanks for the input Nails (Donkey). I'll certainly look into the imaging software. Like you, I'm not one for hacks or snake oil, but I do research issues and have been successful in the past. No snake oil, just specific searches for solutions to specific problems. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here, nor looking for some pie-in-the-sky solution. I am not natured for that.

Blitz is working again! Our flying mate Mezza found a possible solution over on ATAG and sent me a link: reinstall Steam over itself. :o That never occurred to me (since my saved 4.312 version worked while Blitz did not). So there it was right under my nose. I'd even gone searching over at ATAG, but obviously missed that result. Good to be back on duty.
thanks to all for your suggestions. :salute:

My Blitz won't launch this morning. It was fine yesterday, and CLoD launches well. Re-started the computer (OS Win8.1) and it updated. Now what?

Cheers!

I just uninstalled/re-installed "Blitz." This time the prompt got as far as "Loading" before it stopped.

Cheers!

"Blitz" works fine on Wifey's desktop, but still, even after two (2) "System Restores" does not work on my laptop. Validating Steam files now. All files validated; click; Blitz running; Blitz syncing; Blitz CTD.

Cheers!

Only a guess, check do you have the latest .NET 4.7.1 updates installed.
