I have a new map I'm working on that I started in WinXP. Since I had some free time at work I copied the map on to my laptop that has Win7. I've made a lot of changes and additions and now want to copy the map back to my WinXP computer to continue to work on it. However, I am not getting the map version that has been updated . . . I get the version that I originally copied from WinXP. Suggestions???

BTW - I'm using a flash drive for the transfer and have also tried to email the map to myself but always get the same result.

I think you might find it here ish ish ish.
C:\Users\Jason\AppData\Local

You will need to unhide hidden folder too. If it is doing what I am thinking it is doing.

Here's another thing to try Bubba.

When you open the folder that the map is in on your Win 7 machine, see if there is a compatibility view at the top. If there is then
click on it and see if your updated .MIS, .BMS, etc... files are there.

Whenever I get maps from folks I always put the .MIS file in that compatibility view part of the MOD 15 or DFX2 folder because that's where
my MED looks for it and saves it back to.

I looked for the "C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local" file but didn't see it. When I clicked on "Users", it brought up "Laptop", "Public", and "TEMP". Nothing in any of these files that was helpful.

However . . .

I did find the updated game files in the "Compatibility Mode" and was able to copy them over to my XP computer.

Thanks!! :D
