I was playing halo CE on my windows xp a few months ago and it worked fine. Recently I got a Windows 7, and got Halo CE and it runs well too. But when I try to extract maps without confirmation into my maps folder it says that access is denied. I also noticed that the folder for CE is in program files (x86) instead of the normal program files folder. Any advice on what to do?
Are you running as administrator?
Yeah i am actually.
the thing with Win 7 and vista is that even if you run as admin it sometimes picks folders where you CANNOT extract directly to them, instead what you can do is this, two options, one restores the ability to extract to the maps folder, the other is lengthy (only by an extra step or 2) but still allows you to drag drop the maps provided you are an admin :|
to be able to extract to the map folder in your Custom ED folder follow these steps (should)
*locate the maps folder in your custom edition folder and right click
*click "properites" and then hit the security tab
* locate your username (NOT THE ADMIN, YOU AS A USER) and click off the Read/write access permission if its not checked off
* or click "all access"
*apply changes
*enjoy being able to extract to the maps folder once again
I had that problem when I had Windows 7.. even though I was Admin. Extract them to desktop or something then drag them into the folder. (Pain in the ass I know).
k ill give that a try
i do this all the time but i have a shortcut to it, and data + tags on my desktop so it's not so badQuote:
