Default Re: OOB Manager Problem

I've installed patch 2.0 and 2.5 - the game plays fine, but when I try to use the OOB manager, it freezes up.

I'm also having a tough time figuring out how to save changes - I've created a couple of new formations, but when I go back, they're not there ... what am I doing wrong here?
1) "Freezes up". You are attemting to open a custom OOB set I presume ?.
If you read the Game Manual, "Running WinSPMBT" section, each of the game options programme tabs has an explanation. "Manage OOB Sets" walks you through the process, with illustrations. Now - I'll bet that you have skipped the sentence "To load a custom set all you need to do is click on ONE of the OOBs then press the OPEN button. When you do this screen appears" ?. Windows will be waiting at this point for you to select a file (any file) from those displayed, so it can tell which directory you wish to use.
(There is no standard Windows common dialogue for "Select Directory" so we have to use the "File Open" one instead). Select a file - from which Windows can now figure out the path - and you will now be able to continue.

2)The second question is about Mobhack I presume?. Are you committing your changes to the edited record before moving onto the next one?.
See the Mobhack help file section on the Tool Bar Buttons & Menu Items, Save button. (You need to commit your edits to the record). Hovering your mouse over the illustration in the help file (if you do not have pop ups blocked - if you do, allow them for that file) will pop up a description of the button.
