I think you've got the wrong folder. My guess is you're using "c:\Program Files\MX Simulator\blank". The game saves in "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\MX Simulator" (for XP). So the one under "Program Files" is unchanged.

To get things sorted out, I'd unzip a fresh blank track, rename it to "proving_grounds", and then copy the files from "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\MX Simulator\blank" over the files in "proving_grounds".

There should be a start menu entry called "MX Simulator Personal Folder" that will find Appdata\MX Simulator for you. If anyone could verify that it works and finds the right folder I'd appreciate it.

[HolstadMX]

it says the location is unavalable

[jlv]

Could you give this a try?

[Netdemon01]

Could you give this a try?

That works for me. Opens up C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Local Settings\Application Data
and the MX Simulator folder is there.

This was one of the first mistakes I was making. Editing the files located in the program files folder instead of the appdata folder.

Did it work for you Holstad?

[HolstadMX]

naw i got to the app. file but didnt know what to do after
