Maniaplanet.exe won´t start under Win XP 64bit

Post by ApexTwin »

Hi there,
I am still using Win XP 64bit, identified as a Windows Server 2003 OS, after the last update maniaplanet.exe would not start anymore. The prompt by my system was "...Maniaplanet\Maniaplanet.exe is not a valid Win32 application".

I solved this problem once before but can´t recall what the trick was. Can anyone help?

MP4 is DirectX 11, so no XP. Update to a supported OS

Which is only temporary solution for having compatibility issues with content being moved to MP4 - it is no longer supported.
