Problems Uploading Level Solutions Using Windows Vista
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2009 5:16 amHi all,
This is more of an informative post than anything else, since I had a lot of trouble working out what was going wrong.
My problem was that when I went to upload level solutions, Windows Explorer was not admitting that there were the level saves I knew were stored in the .../Armadillo Run/Levels folder. The reason is that Windows Vista does not allow the user to modify certain system files, while programs like Armadillo Run override the restriction. To overcome the problem, users must instead go to C:/Users/(User Name)/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program FIles/Armadillo Run, and the files are all in there.
Hope this helps other Vista users out there.
