I researched the "locked icon" and it probably has something to do with access permission because every time I mess with a shp file it needs my administrator permission. As soon as an icon's data is changed the lock appears. This doesn't happen if I simply rename an icon file (ex: Icon0095.shp to XIcon0095). Any advise?
If I can't figure out how to get the locks off would someone be willing to simply change some bitmaps into shp files for me? |
Since you are talking about the O/S moaning at you for permissions, then you have either Windows Vista or Seven?.
If so - have you got the programmes installed in the /program files/ managed hierarchy?. if so, those Operating Systems will try to "nanny" your files. Some that it thinks are data files will be squirrelled away under your user profile instead of being put into the correct game working folders etc.
The cure is to reinstall to a folder entirely outside of /program files/, when the nanny functions will not get in the way.
That works for
any programmes written before Windows Vista arrived - not just this game.
