I am not to sure what to do about it :cry: Boot5zones.bat I fixed for ya, but I am not sure about the world.exe, sorry :cry: I could never figure out how to fix this problem, I had it, switched to 4.4dr1 and it fixed the problem its self. Maybe someone else will know what to do. Wish I could help ya.

crap,so i might as well give up? =P

nah, don't give up. You will get it, you just need a dev's help. I have been here over a year, but I still don't know everything, hehe. I am heading off to bed now, hope you get it fixed!
