troubleshooting error message

When I open up a file in eQuest and click on the Building Creation Wizard, I
get the following error message:

Required file not found: [files] RulesetFile -> C:\Users\Public\Documents\eQuest 3-63 Data\Wizard\Rules.bin

I checked, and the file is there. I completely uninstalled eQuest and the
error message still pops up.

I am running Windows 7. Are there any known errors for users of Windows 7?

Does anybody have any ideas about how to fix the problem?

Thank you,

I've been using eQuest on Windows 7 with no problems.

I asked Scott Criswell about the compatibility and this is his answer
---

There were some issues w/ earlier versions of eQUEST on a small number
of XP & Vista systems, most common (but still fairly rare) in the 64-bit
Vista release. But as far as I know, those issues have been resolved in
the latest v3.63b release currently posted on doe2.com.

Make sure you do a single person install, and run it in compatibility
mode for XP. It works fine for me on Win 7.

Bruce,

I'm just setting up a new Windows 7 computer. How do I verify if it is or
is not running in compatibility mode for XP? Thanks in advance for your
assistance.

Why should it matter that that it's for a single person installation and not
public?

Thank you.

Right click the Equest icon on your desktop, select properties, the
third tab is compatibility, check the run this ... box and click the
drop down and select XP. I have run it in SP2 or SP3, both seem fine.
I ignore all the other settings on the page.

The public installation will have to be set up with a password for
access. It can be done, just more complicated.
