Just upgraded to Win 7 and my XWE does not work

Post by Melvinflynt »

I'm trying out SLumpEd but it crashes a lot. Anyone have any suggestions on any other programs that might do the trick on my OS?

XWE blindly tries to create system-wide registry keys and fails horribly when it can't. Your two options are to:

1: Run as administrator
2: Open XWE.INI and change NoRegistry=0 into 1
