Hello. Thanks for clicking on my troubleshooting question instead of one of the many, many, many others.
So here's my fairly uncommon issue: Every time I try to open GameMaker Studio, it crashes immediately and throws this error:
I couldn't find much about this on the internet, as the only reference to a "GameMaker rfPersonal" issue on Google was this forum page, but they never really have the issue fixed. They claim it was just working one day as they installed a little older build from the Beta Channel, which I tried to no avail. Same message popped up.
GameMaker Studio worked fine on my desktop for a few months after buying the Pro version, but then I got a trojan virus that just would not die. It was strange to get that, even, as I didn't download anything even remotely fishy. But anyway, I put important files into my Google Drive and reset the computer, doing a full reset too. Y'know, the one that takes 10 hours instead of 1 hour. After setting my few programs back up (Adobe's PDF reader, Google Drive/Chrome, Aseprite, etc.) I installed GM Studio, which worked for a few days. One afternoon I tried to open it and it threw this error. After researching and finding nothing, I've tried all of the following:
Does anyone have suggestions on what to do? Theories on the issue? Do you know what rfPersonal even is? Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Until I can continue working on my game, I guess I'll go practice my pixel art. I've only been doing it for about a week, so it's not very good yet. While you're here, I'll take any pointers! I've resolved to get something out of this forum post. This is where I'm at:

Cheers,

- Rebooting
- Reinstalling (after completely clearing the files)
- Installing different builds (Stable, Beta, and older)
- Clearing the %appdata%
- Bashing my head on the keyboard
TL;DR: GMS worked and now it doesn't.
Does anyone have suggestions on what to do? Theories on the issue? Do you know what rfPersonal even is? Any help is appreciated.
