I assume you have Windows 7?

If so, here's the work around I do.

1) Save the WAC file to desktop. You have to save it exactly as the file name
of your map is too.
Ex. bo5_map_name.WAC (Make sure you use caps for the letters WAC)
2) Once saved to desktop, manually move it into the BO MOD 1.5 folder.
3) You'll get a prompt that you need Admin rights to move into the folder.
Just click "OK" or "Continue".

Once it's moved into the BO MOD 1.5 folder, you can use the drop down under
tools in the MED to reopen the WAC file.

Hope that helps. :mrgreen:
