problem with Halo map editing on vista.

ive been messing with HMT and the usual utilities for a few years on XP, i recently got a laptop with vista and started messing with halo on that.

my problem arose first when i was getting an exception error for something I edited on Truth and Reconciliation (a50). i figured 'instead of trying to track down what i did, ill just delete this file and replace it with a clean one off of the disk's filecab folder'.

So I did this and went back into HMT opening the new file, and somehow this new one i copied in to replace the modified one had the modifications on it too. so I tried deleting every .map file and putting them back on. every single one I edited still had the modifications and the game played with the mods in it.

I even went as far as uninstalling the game completely, and reinstalling it, still no luck, the files keep showing up modded. the odd thing is if i put clean files anywhere else on the computer besides halo's map folder and open them in HMT, theyre completely clean of any modifications, but the second i transfer them in, they change somehow.

how do i keep it from doing this?

that happened to me tyoo before. It was in hex workshop though, id finish my hexing and save the map but the map would stay unhexed. Im still trying to figure it out. Well actually, not anymore since i just reinstalled halo
