can anyone help?

The solutions that have been posted as to this issue have been either to remove this software from your computer:

1. deleting GameGuards folder

2. any nProtect software

Others have suggested that Maple Story fixed the issue.

Have you run searches and deleted the above software from your computer?

Have you rebooted?

Perhaps reload Maple Story.

I got it working lol.

Downloaded ad-ware se personal and spybot search and destroy and after a hour of scanning on like both, maplestory finally worked lol.

I just realized its been a while since I've done any registry scans...

Glad to hear it!

Thanks for letting us know.
