Solved - Slimtex does not open.

Dears.
This may seem old but it is a new problem for me.
I can't get Slimtex to open on Win 10.
A blank window appears and immediately closes.
I tried answers throughout the community unsuccessfully.
Without converting tag to tex some future projects for GP4 such as track updates will be paralyzed
Any suggestion?

Yes, same thing.

Sorry, I don't know, have you checked the compatibility?

Hi Augusto,

Use this: [www.grandprixgames.org]

Install in the program files(x86) folder

Install from scratch zaztool. It need to be installed from scratch, dont copy and paste !!!!!.

Reboot the PC or laptop ...

Go to the zaz tool folder and open slimtex.
Test it: drag and drop a tga file the rest you know how to proceed.

I downloaded the file directly to my Downloads folder.
I disabled Avast, and disabled Windows Defender reputation-based protection.
I uninstalled the previous Zaztools, cleaned the registry manually in Regedit, cleaned the registry with Ccleaner and removed temporary files, and restarted the PC.
I executed ZazTools 1.27b as administrator and followed all the steps and restarted the PC.
(I also did this with version 1.26 that I have on an external hard drive)
Everything works: CSM, Easywad, f1graphics, TSM.
Slimtex does not respond.

Ok.

Download this [www.mediafire.com]
Go to the zaztool folder in Program files(x86) and overwrite the previous file.

Also be sure to have this in CSM: File - Options menu - file associations






2010 to 2021 Gp4 Track updates

Solved!
superman77m gave me a valuable tip: disable DEP.
I uninstalled ZazTools, cleaned manually the registry with Regedit, then CCleaner and restarted the PC.
Then I disabled DEP and restarted the PC.
I reinstalled ZazTools 1.27b in (x86)
CSM worked, I attached the tex files and opened Slimtex.
It was like magic.
For anyone who has the same problem, you can try this.
On the other hand, I need to leave DEP disabled constantly.
I don't know the consequences or dangers of this. I'll search.

Thanks to everyone who helped.
I'm back in the game!

What is DEP Augusto?

Data Execution Prevention.
It is part of the Windows security system.
Prevents the execution of potentially dangerous routines or programs.
It is highly recommended to be active.
I still don't understand the relationship between DEP and CSM and Slimtex. In particular, I will only disable it when using Slimtex.
