I installed from the Level Editor disc and the game portion of it works fine. However, when I try to run the Room Editor, it opens a black screen and crashes back to the desktop. I have installed this on two computers and it does the same thing on each: game works fine, Room Editor doesn't. Any help on what I should do?

Damn Forum, I say...

Morix, sorry... nothing against you

I´ve posted that already.

Try to change your resolution to high color.
The Editor is a dang DOStoWIN proggy, they
often have problems w/ some (mainly Voodoo based) cards.

Hope that worx for you

You must be at the screen setting 1024x768 in 16bit color for the editor to work.

Never give-up! unless the situation is hopeless:)

Strangely, mine works in 32bit colour no problem. I think it really hates 24bit, which is odd as that's what the textures are in.

It'll run in 32bit mode, but you won't be able to adjust/work with the lights.

Cool! I changed my resolution from 32bit to 16bit, and it started up just fine. Thanks everyone!
