1. Where did you install Spore from? (Steam? Disk? GOG? Origin?)
2. When you run the Spore ModAPI Launcher, are any messages shown before the game starts? And if not, can you check if any come up after it starts? (Note that if you normally play in fullscreen mode, you can switch to windowed mode to check by pressing ALT+ENTER)
3. Do you have any kind of antivirus or anything of the sort installed? And if so, which is it?

Hmm...that answers a few questions, but raises another: Does the game still start after that error message appears?

Alright, in that case...do you know exactly where you installed Spore to, and where your Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit folder is?

The launcher for the mod API I downloaded for Spore isn't working at all. I bought the Steam version of Spore Galactic Adventures, but I realized the mod API is extremely useless on the Steam version of the game. So I got a full refund and got the game on Origin, which the API does work on. I uninstalled the Steam version of the game and installed the Origin version. I even uninstalled and then reinstalled the Spore mod API and put it in the right folder (This PC > Acer (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > Spore Galactic Adventures > SporebinEP1 > Spore ModAPI Launcher Kit). I also used the REVO uninstaller to uninstall the copies of Spore and Galactic Adventures manually. But somehow, for some unknown reason that doesn't make any sense, whenever I open the API launcher to run the game, it just opens up the Steam store featuring Galactic Adventures. Is there anything I can do to get the Spore mod API running properly like it should?
