When I try to load a activity I get the following message, "File Not Found encountered while loading".
I am using Vista Ultimate 64bit. I have tried this using the UAC and with it turned off. I have also tried using it with run as adminstrator. No luck in any case. Is this a 64bit issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in adavnce. |

I am totaly embarrassed.
When I made the shortcut for my desktop I went to the explorer and did a copy and paste to the desktop of the .exe file. This was the problem. When I went to the create shortcut method and draged that to the desktop all worked okay. For some reason copying the .exe file does not work well in 64bit as I have encountered this before. I have a feeling it has something to do with the .exe file being 32bit in a 64bit enviroment. Sorry for all the confusion. Thanks for the replys |

Sorry for all the confusion. Thanks for the replys I'm glad you got it worked out, Joe and I were both perplexed. To help others, let me say that you should NOT put the .exe file on the desktop, or really move it anywhere, unless all the other files in that folder are moved too. Because AM (and AG for that matter) needs files that are in that folder to run. So when the .exe was moved, the program looked where that was and tried to find the other support files, and when it couldn't find them, it correctly gave the "file not found" error. The takeaway from this is, please always install the programs using the setup program (setup.exe). That will install a menu item for the program on your start menu. Then if you want a shortcut just make a shortcut from that menu item (right click on it, select "send to" then "desktop (create shortcut)". Thanks for sharing this with us, it will help a lot of folks. Cheers, Steve -------------------- Steve Davis
