Heyo, so like week ago, I was talking to someone, and the client went into full screen mode randomly, Alt+Enter didnt work, and the "Windowed Mode" button didnt work, so I uninstalled, reinstalled, aaaand, it wont even display now, I start it up, the screen flashes black,then i hear the music, and nothing happens, just back to my desktop, when I click the mabinogi button on my taskbar, the screen flashes black and nothing happens.

lol multiple reinstall anyways open registry editor,navigate to this hive HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nexon delete nexon and all of its contents,restart your computer then run mabi it should create a new nexon hive.hope it works.type regedit on the run window(windows key+r on your keyboard) to open registry editor.
