Author | Topic: Easylife on Windows XP
skibsy Member Posts: 446 From:London Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-08-2002 01:08 AM Can Easylife be run on Windows XP? I've just installed the editor onto my new XP system,loaded my levels and wads from the CD's i backed them up onto, but when i make script changes and run Easylife ,no new dat files are created. I assume Easylife being a DOS program ,is the problem with XP....does anyone know a way to get it to work...thanx IP: Logged

Now you should be in DOS. Run Easylife from there! I believe this is the only way... ------------------ IP: Logged

If you wait I can run it, your thinking of XP's command prompt which isn't DOS but a simple text exectuting program. It should run easylife though. IP: Logged
skibsy Member Posts: 446 From:London Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 04-09-2002 12:42 AM Thanx for both suggestions but i still can't get it to work. Easylife does run using the command promt, bu it gives error messages ,saying that files weren't found, so it doesn't create any new dat files IP: Logged

Then copy them into your TRLE root folder. I tried that ,but it doesn't work either...i think i'll probably have to use my old PC for editing because no DOS progs work on XP...thanx anyway IP: Logged
