"seek failed on an unnamed file"

Make sure you are using Cache003.map also on the ppf-o-matic make sure you select the cache and ppf in the right spots.

yeah im doin that! do i need to rename the ppf file?

hum well you get the cache003.map file for what map you want save to you destop or where ever then open PPF-O-Matic and put the cache003.map in the ISO then for the Patch select whatever.ppf and click appl then you should get a message saying it was sucssefuly applyed and you close that then take the cache003.map and transfer it back to the x/y/z folder in your xbox where you got it. If that don't work maybe the ppf is not made right?

Instead of posting another topic, I'll post my problem here. I've had and used sparkedit since it was first made, but when I opened it today, everything was so horribly slow. I just thought the system needed to be rebooted, but that didn't help. I deleted SE and all of it's registry keys, and re installed it, but no fixie. Does anyone know what happened?!

Was it with all the cache files or just one?

In options decrease the draw range or something like that.

If that doesn't help, make sure you don't maximize the sparkedit window.

If that still doesn't help, close as many running programs as you can.

That should let it run faster.

Still doesn't help. MInd you that I don;t have a weak system, It's top of the line by todays standards.

for tikkis problem,when your done editing your map for the first time save it as a compressed. you won't be able to save again so go to open cashe file and open the file you just compresed. now you can edit it and save it again. do this everytime.

Yeah, it gets rid of fragmented files and moves things togeather to clean up the drive. I guess i probably should since I deleted my crap folder last week. It wa 56.7 GB. The only problem is that when I started defrag, it locked up. Any ideas?

Finally got defrag complete, time to see if it worked. I really really hope it did.
Edit: Didn't work! MAn, I sit through 6 hours of boredom for no reason! O well, thanks for helping me...
