The "Preview" button is always vital for me, to sort out all my errors and omissions, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, etc, etc, ....before...and after, I make a post!

I mostly wear the button out!... :-[...!

Yes, I read your problem with the installer. I can't explain why it doesn't work for you. It might be something to do with Vista. Try again, this time directing the install path to a Temp folder outside the Program Files directory. If it extracts the files you can then install it manually.

Glad you finally figured it out.

I thought we'd sorted that one. The texture files you had problems with were in Extended Bitmap format. The R in the file name is not significant.

Yes Master, it only made them invisible for Paint. After downloading all those new (for my ignorance) BMP image handling programs: DXTBmp, Pixia, Gimp, Serif Photo Plus, Image, Alpha Searcher ... like back to Kindergarten, I feel !! but NOT quiting
