Runtime Error while Making New Map

Post by Fracture »

I try to make a new map, and after awhile, this pops up:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Runtime Error!

Program: C:\BF2_ModTools\data\_BUILD\Modtools VisualMunge.exe

This program has asked Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more info.
Then it just closes Visual Munge. Any ideas?

Did you try to uninstall/reinstall the tools?

No, I have Windows XP.

Yes, I have now, and I STILL get the error.

EDIT: I just realized something: everytime it gives me that error, it's always when it says "Rewriting LDX Files..." or whatever. Does that help at all?

Probably not related, but where are the modtools installed?

K, just making sure there were no spaces in the install path.

I just thought of something:
I downloaded the Mod Tools installer onto my F drive (BF2 (and the Mod Tools) are on my C drive). Would that effect anything?

Nope, the installer is completely unaffiliated.

Ya, I get that problem all the time on my Vista, but it did work on my Windows XP. But I rarely use that computer since its a lot slower than my Vista.

Okay, that's what I thought, but it might have been worth mentioning.

That's informative, but none of this is helping. No one has ANY idea how to fix this? How would you fix it if I was using Vista? I could try and use my mom's old Laptop, it's an XP.
