Hi everybody. GLaDOS-Chibi here.

The things is that I was looking to use Spiral Spy, so I downloaded it from the official Spiral-Spy's now defunct blog.
As it is a .jar file, it's obviously supposed to be opened with Java SE Binary (I think so)

But the problem is that I'm trying to open it but.....It doesn't even execute!

Like this:

-I select "spiralspy-1.4.jar"
-I press Enter - I double-click it.
-Loading Emote comes up for a second.....
-It doesn't execute.

Here's an image: Proof

Can somebody please help me? I'm really worried about it D:

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit? Is your Java up to date?

Hey, not so "defunct"! Last post was in March :P

What you have is a problem with Java itself.
Try doing this (copy-pasted&modified from here):

----
Inicio -> Ejecutar: CMD
En la nueva ventana tenemos q ir hasta donde esta el JAR.

Tipea C: y dale a Enter para asegurarnos de estar en el disco C:. Ahora tipea CD.. y Enter. Repite esto ultimo hasta que estés en C:\> (sin nada mas adelante).

Luego copia y pega (con click derecho):
CD "Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights" (comillas incluidas!)
Enter. Con esto ya estamos en la carpeta. (Si no te lo toma, cambia "Program files" por "Archivos de programa")

Ahora a hacer funcionar el programa:
java -jar spiralspy-1.4.jar
----
Tell me how it went :3

Here's another thing.

I do have Steam installed on disk C:, therefore the Spiral Knights folder is on C:, any clues?

My "Main Disk" or "System Disk" is D:

Why is your Main Disk sad? *ba-dum-tss!*

Try the steps from my last post and tell me if it works or not, or if it throws you any errors.

For me, everything is blank on SpiralSpy and it says at the bottom "could not find valid pixel format".

@Cinoa:
I'll answer here to avoid off-topicness~
(I missed your post (#6). How? I don't have a clue)
So far, the only thing I could find about your Error is that it might be a Video drivers problem, which confuses me, since you've already tried that...
Care to share your PC specs?
