I just stumbled on to a problem with the amount of scenes able to be created in Windows 7. I am only able to create 15 scenes. I have adjusted the Freestyler File to 50 scenen but for some reason I am not able to save. I am getting a message telling me that I am not able to save to file and redirects me to My Documents Folder Insted. I see that the File tipe is ANSI.. I have need seen this before in Windows XP. What I did is save it to My Docuements then Copy and Pated to Overwrite the file. Now when I open the file in the Freestyler Folder I see that the amount of sceens is 50. But when I run Freestyler, it still only have a limit of 15 sceens. Now I am not able to run any of my cues that I created in XP becuase they are more than 15 sceenes each. I get an error every time I try to run any of them.

Did anybody run into this issue and found a solution to fixing it.

Thanks..

You need to make sure that you have the correct admin rights on your PC. Turning off the child locks that Vista and 7 have will probably solve this problem.
I can remember how to do this now but im sure someone will post a 'how to' on this thread soon.

I have tried to open up the file using both notepad and wordpad. The file opens up with no problems. It is when I try to save my changes that Save As window pops up. File name is left the same "Freestyler" Save as type "Text Documents (*.txt).. Im not too familiar and new with Windows 7. One thing I see that I havent see in XP is the Encoding. It is set to ANSI as a default with "Unicode, Unicode big endian, and UTF-8" as choices.

It doesnt matter which one I chose as soon as I click on Save another popup window comes up indicating that Freestyler.ini already exist if I want to rewrite? When I click yes, another window appears saying "Access Denied" Very frustrating. I heard that both Vista and Windows 7 are a pain in the neck. Boy is it getting there very fast...

Figured it out..

It seems that the configuration file "Freestyler" that shows up on your Windows Explores is not the file that should be changed. If you click on "Compatible Files" on the Menu Bar while in the Freestyler Folder you will only see those compatible files and "Freestyler.ini" is one of those. This is the file you can modify and save.

It works.. :D :D :D
