My byond will just sit there on the start window
and it just says "loading game information"

this dose not happen on any other PC's but my laptop,

i have no clue why its happaning, i ran it as adminastrator and it still dose not work,

I have tryed restarting my PC, reinstaling it, trubble shoting it, and using the version on my other pc that works, but it just sits in that little black box with the byond logo saying "loading game information".

Lige	Hello TheKingOfLife, Have you tried clearing your BYOND cache?

TheKingOfLife	ok, how do i do that >.>

Lige	I'll walk you through it via pager. Open BYOND Pager. Press Ctrl+P to open up your preferences. Click on the Games tab in the popup. Click the Clear Cache button.

Lige	It sounds similar to this thread. I listed a few ideas that might be the issue in the link provided, but as stated in that thread, I'm not really knowledgeable in this department.
