Getting an error when trying to open rr for the first time

**02rsxs06** · 06-13-2008, 04:38 PM

Done that, I now get this error " Run-time error '75': Path/File access error" when trying to open the config.exe. After clicking OK, it opens the config.exe and I can change stuff around. After saving changes and setting the skins to BMV2. I try and open the RR.exe and get the error that state "C:\Program Files\Road Runner\SKINS\ Alpine does not contain a valid skin! Check you settings and try again." Well the Config setting is set to BMV2 so I don't know where Alpine is coming from. Any idea of what is going on and how fix it?

Goodness! you got problems! Attach your rr.ini file let's take a look.

Not to be stupid but where in the Road Runner folder would I find the ini?

i heard people having all sort of problem using rr with vista... why not run xp, saves you trouble now and later... those file access problem seems alot to do with the way vista works... I was thinking about vista too,but what's the point if i am gonna run rr most of the time... This is not a solution but, i strongly suggest you do this with xp like creator recommended.. You might encounter more problems later and evetually fed up with it...

ini is in the road runner root directory where it was installed...

rr.ini

Im haveing the same Line-1 issue. If i goto the program file and click on the exe file it says "canot access the specific device path or file you may not have the aproperate permission to acces them.

Im running windows xp service pack 2

I don't know why anyone would want to run a carputer on an operating system that uses 750 megabytes or more just to boot.
But to help you out a little, I was able to download and install RoadRunner on my 32 bit Vista laptop no problem. It runs fine. I got the same skin not found error that you're getting but that's easily solved by running the config file.

**BigP** · 06-14-2008, 04:27 AM

that doesnt help me much

Don't see anything obviously wrong - I'm baffled! The last think i can think of is that i read somewhere that Vista users have to run RR in compatibility mode and don't use the Euro Glass theme or something like that.

Maybe somebody else can help.
