FAQ

1. Why does Smuggly crash when it starts and I am not logged in?
   • See the detailed explanation and fix.
2. Why do I get the error "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework, Version=3.0.0.0..."?
   • This is caused by running InstallSmuggly.msi without having installed  XNA first. To fix this download and install  XNA then rerun Smuggly or reinstall Smuggly using setup.exe.
3. Can I run Smuggly in a virtual machine?
   • At this time Smuggly will not work in most virtual machines. This is caused by XNA throwing an exception if Direct3D is not enabled for the graphics adapter. Smuggly is not currently using any 3D features so a workaround is trying to be found. To easily check if Direct3D is enabled run the dxdiag utility and look at the bottom of the display tabs under "DirectX Features."
4. Why do I see images from items I removed when Smuggly starts?
   • Images are downloaded to the specified cache folder. When Smuggly starts it pulls images from that folder so that you don't have wait while it downloads new images. Smuggly will eventually prune orphaned images out of the cache. If you really don't want to see the image immediately, go to the cache folder and delete it.
5. Why do I see repeat images so often when I first run Smuggly?
   • Smuggly only uses images that have already been downloaded. This causes repeats to show up more often if only a few images have downloaded so far.
