This error may happen randomly or you stayed in the cash shop for too long. Just start MapleStory again.
Some skills get you the errors.

• Server Check/Firewall
1. It is because the server is down or in the middle of restarting
2. If server is up and you have this error, try disabling any antivirus/firewall you have against the MapleStory client
3. You have been MAC banned
4. Your internet is not connected.

• Missing ijl15.dll
Also, check to see if the MapleStory client has been placed in your v83 folder. Put MapleStory client in your v83 maple folder, and run the client MapleStory from there.

• Can't get pass login
1. Run the client as an admin (for vista & win 7 users)
2. If other players can get online, disable your loopback adaptor.
3. If the problem still exists, wait for a server restart. (Server login is probably down)

• Error Code -2147287038
This error is caused by a missing WZ file in your MapleStory v83 folder. The most common cause is a missing mob.wz. This error also happens if you have custom files from other servers in your v83 folder. So just download the clean v83 wz files

Alternatively, reinstall maple. Go to control panel > programs & features > MapleStory > uninstall. Then reinstall using the downloads.

• Account does not exist / Unregistered ID
Most common cause of this is because you installed v83 into the same folder where your GMS or other versions are saved. Make a new folder on the desktop or wherever you want and name it something like Maplestory v83. Then, install v83 into the new folder, put the MapleStory client in the folder you installed v83, and then login. If this doesn't work, your account might be deleted.

• ''MapleStory has stopped working''
This only happened with VISTA users.

Fix:
Try to run it with compatibility mode, and try running it as admin.
Redownload v83 completely, and redownload MapleStory.
If that still doesn't work then I suggest you reset your whole computer.

• Socket Error Code / Error Code : 10106 (The requested service provider could not be loaded or initialized)

• Fix:
When using a cable modem this happens when the DHCP client on the PC hangs. To fix this you usually power cycle the modem (remove power, wait a few seconds and plug it back in). Then you will get "not a socket" error when trying to renew the IP address. So all you have to do is reset winsock. Either by deleting the reg keys or by typing: netsh winsock reset catalog in cmd

• Error Code :-2147221000 (DLL for class not found)

One of your files in is corrupted/missing:

Fix:
Re-download a CLEAN AND NEW v83 client from the website and a CLEAN client with WZ files. Put them all in one folder that has no other Maple clients except MapleStory.exe.
