Zugg Software :: View topic - CMUD will not save anything when I shut it down.

I am running windows 7 and version 2.37(or something like that) of CMUD.

I opened up properties of CMUD and made sure that my user name had administrator privileges over CMUD but when I simply open it CMUD still does not save my work.
Very frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got it working.

You have to actually right click and run it as administrator every time or it will not save your changes!

Nope, you just told Cmud to save its data in the application folder (Program Files) instead of in the documents folder (My Documents/My Games/Cmud). Vista and 7 prevent you from saving data to the program files directory, but they don't actually prevent applications from setting themselves up that way.

You may need to run it as administrator once so that any last-minute stuff from installation gets properly handled. After that, you won't need to keep running it as administrator.
