Windows7's Maple compatibility

Try ending the maplestory.exe process in your task manager. [Alternately you can make a .cmd file in notepad with the line 'taskkill /F /IM maplestory.exe' without the quotes.] After you do that just go straight to the website and log in and click start-game, that should do your trick. I believe there's some kind of serious problem going on in W7 atm with the maple launchers. GameLaucher.exe never works for me and always crashes like a screenshot shown above.
