Now that Icewolf mention it, there was a good reason to make standard elevators run 0-29 and never let them stop on next lobby

I always built sky lobbies. (with restaurants or dines in them... )
Did you make the standard elevator leave those out?

If you have Vista 64 bits then you can't run 12 bits application.

There is no workaround short of emulating a new OS.

Please take your complains directly to Micro$oft...

Vista=VirtualPC+W98(SE)

Or install W3.x in dosbox, works also.

the same idea came to me: i'm using Virtualisation Software to test different stuff on other OS's. basically you can run a windows in a "Window".

Just check out:http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

it's very easy to setup (you can do it even with just clicking "Next" like a fool ^^). Insert your old windows 98 or so in your cdrom, in the settings of your created virtual Harddrive (which is only 1 big file on your real HDD), click on "cdrom/dvdrom" and mount your Hostdrive, start the virtual machine and have fun Every half-modern PC has no problems handling this machines, as they take practically no CPU Power anymore

i'm doing the same with FreeDOS now.



back to topic:

i noticed years ago, when installing Simtower on a Win98, that if i wanted to open a program "with another program", in the list where i could chose "open with: notepad, word,blablabla," there was also the simtower.exe. So i could open any program with the "open with:" option and chose the tower.exe....it was kinda annoying to me :-/
At that time i didn't know how to remove it from the list. I know that it's just an entry in the registry now..

Game's great At the beginning one thinks it'll be too easy. But the more pop you have and things to maintain, the worse it gets

By me there are 2 problems:
1.The thing with "Disk is full or locked."
2.I tried to resave my game and everytime I try following message appears:

NAME_OF_MY_SAVE.TDT
You do not have permission to open this file.
See the owner of the file or an administrator to obtain permission.



Now I am the administrator. I am sure about that ^^ Help please.
