i have no idea what this means..lol
Btw i'm running on win98se, if that matters

i have absolutly no idea about that, (ive never used the app) BUT, i have noticed that some apps wont open unless i have .net 1.1, even tho i was running 2.0 so i installed .net 1.1 and 2.0 and it fixed most of my problems, but im not sure if the problem is related, but its worth a shot.

but i have 1.1 and 2.0

Please don't go crazy when posting a new topic.

ok, that counts my idea out, it must be something else, but i'm no programmer.

Do you have the mainmenu.map and shared maps in the same directory as the map you are opening?
