okay, for all of you noobs and lazy bastards who are incompetant or unwilling to search for the common cure, I have made this JUST for YOU!!!
you may have downloaded the newest BETA of GuitarStar for the very first time, and have noticed that to your surprise, the game is dead as your very own brain!
well this is most likely because you are dumb, but sometimes it can be caused by missing or broken required software! this is an all-inclusive list of what softwares you will be required to have to play GuitarStar. if you choose not to install them, then go on over to FoF where no other bells and whistles are required, and nor are they part of the game (nudge to the FoF fans
)!
to start with, you need a nice copy of Windows XP or Windows Vista. and i guess maybe anything else if you can get it to work, on your own!
now we need some basic Windows apps that even the average idiot might already have!

okay, thats it for the basic stuff. now comes somethings you may have never heard of:

(this one installs somewhat silently, and it does not alert you when it is finished, so wait about a minute after the progress bar dissapears before you do anything)
now you should have everything you need, software-wise ofcourse! hardware is for a completely different thread, which i do not feel like covering!
-----DO NOT POST ANYTHING IN HELP OR DEVELOPMENT PERTAINING TO THE INOPERATIONS OF GUITARSTAR WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING THIS GUIDE AND DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING ALL OF THE MENTIONED SOFTWARES. I WAS NICE ENOUGH TO LINK YOU TO EVERYTHING YOU NEED. NOW YOU BE NICE ENOUGH TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND NOT POST THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER.-----
