> Im new to Jk and game editing, s I might be making a simple mistake, but I've got a real major prob here. I was going along with the tutor, everything working fine. Cleaving, adjoining, moving vertices. Wow I thought, I rule! Until it hit. I tried calling up ITEM EDITOR. Nada. Nothing happens. I try again. Nothing. Try pressing enter. Nope. I even reinstalled JED 4 times, each from a different download site. Im really annoyed at this, since without the item editor JED is virtually useless. Has anyone ever had this happen before? Im running a PII 266 with Win95 OSR2 with IE 4.0 (no web desktop though). If you have any suggestions please please help me.
Occasionally when I temporarily close the window for JED and then call it back up again a few of the menus won't work. Whatever menu was active will still be functional (and maybe one or two others) but most of the time the other menus will "turn off". I don't know why this is though. It's a similar problem to what you have which is why I'm posting this repsonse, but in actuality I could only guess that either you don't have the entire version of JK installed or you might be running some kind of TSR that treats your desk top like a giant window that's open only temporarily which may cause some of the problems I just relayed to you. OSR2 could be causing some compatibility problems with JED and your other operating system, but it's only a guess. If you really want to hunt down the problem I might suggest, but not reccomend, reinstalling Win95 ONLY, and leave any other OS off your system until the thing menu runs right in JED.
Don't know if that's of any help; Blue Ghost
