Default SE IV 1.78 won\'t load save games or emps

I have SE IV 1.78 on my desktop running WinXP Home. NP

Recently bought a new laptop running WinXP Pro. SE IV 1.78 refuses to recognize/load any of the emps, save games copied over from my desktop.

Growl, etc. Anyone have any thoughts?

You're probably trying to load a savegame or EMP that was created in a different mod than the one you're running at the moment.
If the racialtraits.txt is different, savegames and EMPs will NOT be compatible.

Check your path.txt

Everything is straight and unmodded. I'll check path.txt, however

Elowan ... it's been a while. Good to see you. OK, a little bit too obvious a tip, but anyway...

Try an uninstall and reload. Wierd stuff happens with installers sometimes. Sometimes when I play P&N, I get a black screen for the system window... when I minimize and resize, the screen is there.

Not exactly your problem, but just a general message on wierdness.

Greets! Been working with LightWave a lot lately.

I tried the uninstall-re-install ploy to no avail. I'll just rebuild stuff - NP really.

Hey, Are you sure that's the latest patch you have on there?
We should be in the .80-somethings, not .78

Trying to load the game into an older Version of SE4 could be your problem.
