Can't get editor to load levels

[jspyder]

Nothing I've been able to do can get the official editor to load levels - I just get a blank window and if I click the down arrow it crashes. This is on our spare laptop (Windows XP Pro), my home computer (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit) and the Windows 98SE VirtualBox I set up.

Has anyone else encountered this (and hopefully found a solution)?

Yes to all of the above. Nothing works. Tried it on each system (primary computer with KeeperFX installed - followed those instructions to the letter; spare laptop with Windows XP Pro - followed the editor install instructions that came with the editor package (dkedit.zip); VirtualBox with Windows 98SE (ditto).)

To quote a long forgotten movie character: "it is for to make me SCREAM!"

Well it is weird, because you get an error nobody gets and get it across installations and machines. That leads me to believe it's not a freak accident but something you consistently do different. And for me to help you, I need to figure out what.
Could you post a screenshot of the folder (with files and subfolders visible) where you installed the editor, and a screenshot of the inside of the levels folder?

And just to confirm, the editor itself runs fine for you, it's just that when you load a level it's giving issues? If you make a new map and save it, what happens then?

... Well, now I feel foolish ...

I was double checking myself, and discovered, to my great chagrin:
* I didn't have the right folder in the .cfg file, and
* I had copied the folders from a flat, not from the CD.

BOY, I feel dumb!

Sorry for wasting your time.
