| I recently reinstalled a clean version of XP Pro, which somehow only had me set-up an "Administrator" account at the start. Upon coming up with the first XP screens, MUD-addict me installed MUSHClient immediately (and activeperl, too). After that I set-up an admin account for my name.
When I restarted into my account, MUSH Client was not showing as installed (no surprise here). I opened MUSH from the directory I installed it from, then opened one of my old world files. When it came to running any of my plugins it said something like: XML error, .\worlds\plugins\constants.pl cannot be found. I looked in that folder, and constants.pl was there.
So I reinstalled MUSH, but after downloading, it keeps giving me "Error opening file for writing: .\worlds\plugins\constants.vbs" (and all of the other files in the .\worlds\plugins folder.
Keep in my mind that I was not able to clean uninstall MUSH since I was unable to go back to the original "Administrator" account, so I just simply deleted the folder. I've tried so many times already its frustrating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. | | Top |

| Reboot your computer to Safe Mode. (Press F8 during startup).
The Adminstrator account will now show up. If you did not create a password, it won't have one yet. CREATE AN ADMIN PASSWORD TO PROTECT YOUR BOX!
Now, also while as Admin, create your new User Profile, or edit it to give it Admin rights.
Voila! |

| Gah, I'm dumb.
Finally got it to work. Forgot MUSH had its own uninstall program. | | Top |
