I've started a new thread, reposting what I had earlier below.

I've been using zMUD since 2003. Having recently purchased a new computer with Vista, I downloaded the cMUD Beta version. It look good, and everything was fine until after I had made one macro and 2 triggers. Then I started receiving an error message and could edit or make nothing else. I've e-mailed Zugg about it. When I went back to try and copy the error message exactly (the program wouldn't allow my to easily copy it before so I was going to do it by hand), it's stopped showing me anything at all in the windows. I can connect with the games and the three commands that I made work, but after that, it's just blank screens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it about 4 times now. Oddly, the three commands are still working. I can't see them in the editing windows, but they're there. Help!

As for an error message, there isn't one. There's just...nothing, nothing at all.

Sounds like your screen layout is messed up. Remember that uninstalling *any* software never removes any user-created files. Just like uninstalling Microsoft Word doesn't delete any of your *.DOC documents, uninstalling CMUD does not delete any of your scripts or layout files. So once a layout file gets messed up, uninstalling isn't going to fix it unless you delete all of your CMUD data files.

To fix a corrupted layout file, hold down the SHIFT key when clicking the Open Offline action in the main session window. That will open your session and will reset all windows to their default states.

If the problem is in the Settings Editor screen with it being blank, you can select the "Restore default layout" option from the View menu.

If you continue to have problems, you'll need to post the exact macro and 2 triggers that you are creating that are causing the problem.
