if you need anymore info just tell me.

PS. It used to run before i got my new 2 tb hdd and reinstalled everything(if u want to see it on teamviewer PM me)

Are you trying to open a .map or .scenario file?

Never mind, I read the post again and it looks like a memory problem. Unfortunately I do not know how to fix this off the top of my head.

ok sorry i guess tht does not make sence cause sapien only opens .scenario files but that is what im trying to open like ill give you an example:
the tutorial .scenario file will not open

So, it did work for him after renaming the DLL, but he doesn't want to do that because hes finally figured out what the DLL is for. its for some version of photoshop apparently (im assuming CS5 since 4 works for me)

One thing you gotta know about HEK tools.. when they complain about a DLL file, its not that they want that file, its that they don't want it.

So, if you want both HEK and photoshop on your computer, 1) your gonna have to swap the DLL back and forth (which requires to move the dll from the windows folder without windows running) or 2) use a virtual machine for either HEK or photoshop, 3) get a different version of photoshop.


Or, he could of been completely wrong about photoshop not opening after moving the DLL, who knows (cause I think we would of had more complaints by now if it really was caused by photoshop..)

hmmm that does make sense i have Photoshop cs5. But when its not running it still then has that file and online it says that the file is for windows installer.

it does work if i rename the file but i dont want to have to do that all the time just to run sapien... that seems like a huge hassle.
