You didn't put the file in the path that you have set for your macros. Double check to make sure the path is correct.

- or -

You didn't save the file as twogold.mac you probably saved it as twogold.txt

I will double check both, and update when i have luck or not. thanks


Edit: I think the problem is i named the file twogold.mac, but the computer still saved it as a ini file. I don't know if thats because windows vista.. still new to vista. but how do i change it from a ini to mac if .mac in the name don't work? Sorry i suck :P

Edit: I know for sure that is the problem. when i click on properties and goto the details tab, it has the name listed as twogold.mac.ini so how do i change that with vista? i can re-name it all day, and it will just keep putting ini at the end.. and wont show up in the name

Alright, I figured it out, Your help led me in the right direction, so thanks alot. I just had to use Save As insteas of just Save. and change it from a text document to all documents

Yep...twogold.mac.ini:P I hate how Windows likes to automatically tag the extension if you don't use the pull-down.

Good luck

Yeah, that is very retarded. Such a simple issue, i felt kinda dumb. anyways thanks for the help, tossed a red cent to you EQManiac for leading me in the right direction.
