Problem with Win7 track creation

Post by SammieVL »

Hi, im Wouter, im sure youll know me from the other forum.

I have a problem with making tracks! The problem is that i cant save tracks to a 16 color bmp file without color loss! Can anyone help me with this?

BTW, do you guys also have a way to let all the tools work again?
It seems they wont work if i dont have that COMLD32.ocx or how it was called again...

Wouter.

Hi, Wouter!

Of course we remember you (at least I do) for your *cough* curious *cough* trackmaking. :lol:

You have the same problem as every other W7 user, but there is a workaround. Instead of using W7 Paint, use XP Paint (or GIMP, it works without problems). You could probably find XP Paint on the net somewhere or if not, send me a PM and I'll send it to you.

BTW are you going to release some new tracks shortly? :hiya:

I tried, i found some thing called "OldPaint" and it replaces the normal win7 paint to the xp/vista one. But still im getting the same problem.

BTW, about new tracks, i made some rally tracks when i still had vista, they are still on my PC, and they look awesome!

Wouter.
