Hi DarkDragon1018,

have you tried to update the copy protection to Vista64?

http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm?page=5.5.htm

Make sure your AntiVirus tools are turned off during the protection's installation



Please stay in contact. We are not the developers of the game (of course) but the Vista 64 problems occure quite often and we are trying to find something. There is a guy on the german forum who tries some of these ideas

I can tell you that it is the protection. But I don't know exactly which problem you have. Are you using any firewalls or tools like Spybot Search&Destroy (pretty good tool) that prevent software to be run properly on your PC?

Did you do it like that: right-click and then 'Run as administrator'? Otherwise the installation won't work properly.
And the Mapeditor is not to be found in the ingame menu of Paraworld. If you select the adequate option while installing, there will be an icon on your desktop which will lead you to the mapeditor.

He has to install patch 1.01 or a boosterpack as well... and modify the shortcut

It seems there is still a bug with Vista and the Editor, isnt' there?

Did you do the Boosterpack then the patch? Cause it'll just mess it up.

Just download the Boosterpack and then the leveleditor.

Then make a short to the editor. You can find an example one in ...\paraworld\bin (it is added with the boosterpack but only a reference)

Change it to your game's path



It must contain the following parameters:

-enable boosterpack1
-leveled

also where it says start searching or something underneath where you put the target, it needs to be the bin folder

C:\Program Files\Sunflowers\Paraworld\bin

if you do not add \bin the editor will not run
