no not realy...

quick reply though

i've read almost all of the posts, so i know all of this options they are repeated over and over again, coz people dont read before ask (also dont listen and keep asking for help, quite irritating)

_r.u.s.s. --> yes i have the file ttdloadw.ovl in the right place

thanks

i hope for more assistance

[_r.u.s.s.]

are the write/read file rights of ttdloadw.ovl appropriate for your user account in a specific directory? is the file read only?
(vista doesn't let other non admin user programs to write on other places than their document folder afaik)

[Sir Pillas]

yes coz I don't use vista () and I am the admin...

I...I... don't know what to do.... my TT energie is runnning low.....

It is the first time I ever suggest this, but it is worth a try:

Try opening TTDX Configurator.exe. If it works, load TTD .cfg file and make sure the last option bottom right, "use Windows 2000/xp Compatibility settings" is checked.

If it still don't work, or it is already checked... Try selecting the option right above, "rebuild ttdpatch.ovl on every run".

It seems like setup.bat also try to enter something in the registery. You could also try that.

Edit: also, make sure you don't have an anti-spyware or any kind of spyware which prevent other programs to write in the registory. Norton Antivirus could possibly fall in that category too, depending of your version... If you use it.
