Another Personal Ages problem...

Hey guys,

In preparing for this new contest and working toward setting my airship age as an explorable place, I set myself the task to learn to build the age with the pyprp.

I'm having some issues with the ULM.

I'm going through the "Basic Age" tutorial on the wiki as written and instructed by Sophia.
Ive created the plane age and exported it to the Uru dat folder. I run ULM as an administrator, since I can't use it normally due to a JIT error that I previously posted about. http://www.guildofwriters.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=1094&p=11332&hilit=JIT#p11332

Here is the thing. I can see the age I created and exported in the personal ages tab when I run ULM normally, but it won't show up in the personal ages tab when I run it as an administrator.

Any clues to solving this puzzle?

Here is what I have tried so far.
I've removed and reinstalled ULM with no new results. I've even searched through this topic posted by Kierra of a similar instance and tried everything there, including installing the nightly build for pyprp. http://guildofwriters.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=1706

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Your fellow writer and explorer,
DaVinci.

Doing some further searching for answers to my problem I found a topic about the ULM install for Vista systems.. unfortuantely the link to that topic is on the Guild of Maintainers site.. which is undergoing maintenence at this time. Ah well. lol.

You should've said you were using vista!
My recommendation is to upgrade to XP asap. :P

You mean upgrade to MS-DOS 6. XP is leaps and bounds beyond Vista... I don't even think they're compatible with each other.

Was digging in my trunk the other day, and guess what I found?

5 1/4 inch floppies for Dos 3.2!!!! Wow! :shock:

and if that wasn't shock enough, I found also:

another 5 1/4 inch floppy for Zork for the Commadore 64......and a old game cartridge for my Vic 20 I had! "Haunted House"

Don't know if I should frame them, or toss them, hehehehe.

5 1/4 inch floppies? I kept a disk drive for those around somewhere. ;)

I still have a 8-inch floppy. It has some TRS-80 model 12 things on it.
I used it a few years back, when I was working as an IT manager, and someone would ask for a floppy.
I would ask "What size?", and if they said "any size"... :D

Andy, you know there is an excellent C64 emulator out there? You can play all popular C64 games on your PC.
