Player keeps crashing

Hi,

 

My NowTV player keeps crashing on my Windows laptop. I have tried rebooting it and also tried uninstalling the player and deleting all associated files and reinstalling. This did nothing...

 

Any ideas on what's causing it to crash and what I can do to fix it?

Windows 10?

 

Using the app from the Microsoft Store?

 

If Yes and no respectively, get and use that version.

 

Otherwise, the answer will be in your latest Windows error log, but you might need a tame techie to interpret it for you.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow

 

Delete the Cisco folder

 

Open NowTV Player and it should work.

 

If this doesn't fix it, delete that cisco folder as well as any NowTV folder inside C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming 

Then reinstall NowTV Player

 

Tested on Windows 10 x64

AppData is a hidden folder not visible by default.

 

Click the View tab at the top of file explorer and tick Hidden items to make them visible.

I tried deleting both NOW TV and NOW TV Player folders from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming and then reinstalling the player but it still does not work.

 

Pretty poor from Now TV

Did you also delete the Cisco folder, as described above?

Hi RoyB,

There is no Cisco folder present in either of the following locations, so I
am not able to follow the step to delete the folder:

C:\Users\smithn\AppData\Roaming
C:\Users\smithn\AppData\LocalLow

I have the NOWTV player installed on both my PC and Laptop, I can get the service to work on my Laptop but not my PC. On my PC i get the error VGC-4229955698:8.MAIN_CONTENT and when googling this error code I get no results. I have tried uninstalling the software clearing all remaining files and many other things that have been suggested as well.

 

Can anybody shed any light on this error.

 

Thanks

You might need to change your folder settings to unhide folders. 

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help
