Whenever im in leveledit and try to press "Level Settings", the program crashes. Windows log says it has something to do with d3d8.dll, version: 5.3.2600.2180. It has always worked just fine for me, so i don't know where this comes from.

Another question, is it possible to keep folders inside mix files? Like all westwood maps have a mapname+ folder.

tnx

Right click the shortcut on the start menu and select properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and tick Disable Visual Themes. Then click OK and start LE again.

LE does not work properly with the XP visual themes.

Really? I've been using it for quite some time on XP with a modified uxtheme.dll and no problems. Dont Get It

Not quite what I meant. I mean you have to disable XP's default theme on LE or it crashes when you open Level Settings. I don't know if this applies to everyone, but it certinaly affects quite a few people, including me.

As for Q2, yes, folders are fine, just make sure you put the right path in your presets (using the browse button is the easiest way to do that)

Good to see this has an awnser behind it as i had noticed my level edit crashing every time i hit level settings, and you wouldn't know how annoying it can be when you just think its a map bug causing it to crash.
