Update: Windows 7 wants rm games to DIE!

Even though I've updated the permissions for rm2k, it still won't let me zip files in winrar. Basically, every time I move it to another directory to zip it, the copied file of the game ends up being the version that was FIRST uploaded to this computer and NOT the one I've been updating since. Stupid? Fuck yes! I don't even know how the hell that happens (the file version that's being pasted doesn't even bloody exist anymore for F sakes!). If that isn't making any sense to you, you'll understand why it's been taking me so long to figure out what it's doing. Anyways, this means that not even the black and white version on here is the correct one after all. I've taken it down as well.

Anyways, I was able to get it all working for the Fragile Hearts demo that I sent to Amerk the other day (after he pointed out the flaw), but it isn't working for these games in the same way. I'll have to transfer them to my old PC (once again) and then back again (don't ask me how or why that works, but it did once before).

I'm paranoid about doing anything on here now. If I copy a word doc will it only paste as much of it as when the document was first saved? It's probably only an RM problem, but jeez, it's bad!

You might try the forum here and in RRR to see if people have any suggestions or have had similar issues. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of Eden Legacy. I'm kidding, of course, I'm sure somebody will be able to help you out and get this fixed. But the more I hear about Windows 7 makes me wish MS never turned away from XP.

Which version of Windows 7 do you have? There's 6 different ones: Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate for both 32 & 64 bit.

I've now got Win7 Home Premium 64 bit, so I might be able to help.

Have you tried setting the security permissions for the ASCII folder and all its subfolders? Maybe the attributes of the ASCII folder or its subfolders got set to Read Only?

I'm hardly an expert here, having had Win7 for less than a month, so I don't know what else it could be.

Yep, I have that same version. I was able to fix the problem, as it seemed everything was being saved to a backup folder which I had never experienced with older Windows versions. The key to fixing the problem for good was to open the program as admin, which stopped it from saving things to the secondary folder and instead switched to the primary.

Thanks for offering to help though, it's very much appreciated!
