got a bit of a new problem really. was editing happily on my old laptop, but a water spillage and a trip to pc world later, I'm on a new laptop with windows vista. now I'm not entirely sure that that's the problem itself, but basically I'll edit things in the normal fashion that used to work completely, and do everything the same, and some of the time this'll work. I've definitely been able to edit things in the game at times. but some of the time this won't work, and when I do the editing, I save in the normal way, load up the game and find that the game has loaded a database from before my last save of magpie. sometimes I'll go back and it will have forgotten everything I've done, sometimes it'll still remember it, but just isn't loading up the thing that I've just saved. now the thing I'm suspicious of is the compatibility files that vista seems to want to create for me, which it lumps the edited data files into sometimes. but it's all a bit confusing for me. has anyone else had a similar or the same problem (with or without vista), and how did you solve it?
cheers for any help given
