I know this is a common problem but I have an unusual circumstance. I found two solutions: one by changing the target of a shortcut, the other by editing a file in the profile folder.

The first does not work with vista and I get an invalid target error. The second... the only thing in my profiles folder is an empty folder titled badges. The only solution I can see left at this point is if someone e-mails me a copy of their profile folder with the appropriate configuration. Can someone help me with this?

ok this is just a general homeworld 2 question....

how do you make the badges NOT have a white square round them

i will make a image in photoshop 64/64 pixels i will set it to have a alpha chanel but when i save the image as a .tga and go into the game it will always be inside a coloured square, it will never be just the image

does anybody know...

would be greatly apreciated

if you are using a reinstalled version of hw2 and you forgot to delete the original hw2 folder then you would get that problem or if you installed the hw2 no -cd patch for the wrong version the .exe won't match your best bet is to delete the entire hw2 root folder and reinstall the game if you want to save your profile move it out of the root hw2 folder then replace it when the reinstall is complete and patched
