Hey Rookie and all that contributed: Thanks for all your help. I assigned the .mbe files to another folder and it worked like a charm. Thanks again for all your help. You all were great.

Thanks....I'll give it a try. By the way, should Iput it in my programs file or my (x86) program files?

Any Ideas Kyleb?

Hey Jim: Thanks for the reply. Yes, this is what my MVPEdit screens look like and the pictures are all stored in MVP Baseball 2005/data/frontend/portraits. So your example and both my machines are in agreement. However, when I click on OK with data highlighted just like you show me, it still goes to the directly to the .MBE file and pulls it up and loads it. See what I mean. I have checked the box like you have to show faces but on Win. 7 it still won't pull up pics or faces. On my Windows 7 computer, the MVP Baseball and MVPEdit are both on an (x86) list of programs rather than just being on "programs". Do you think that might be the problem? Anyway....I know I am doing evrything right but it still misbehaives. Any further advice would be appreciated. Palooka1

Hi Jim: Thanks for your advice and the link. Problem still remains that MVPEdit still looks for the MBE file in my database regardless of what machine I am using. The caviot is that on my wife's XP pro machine it does import the .MBE file but will still search for pictures and faces and bring them up. On my Windows 7 machine I try to search under data and it defaults to find the .MBE file and shows me no pics and no faces because "faces not found". So, do I need to uninstall and then re-install MVP edit? My thought is that both MVPEdits both offer the SAME menu options on Windows XP and Windows 7. Help please! Thanks to anyone who contributes.....Dennis James....are you listening? Thanks................Palooka1

Hey you guys. I have had this problem since the beginning and it only happens on my Windows 7 pro computer. On my wifes XP 32 bit all the faces and portraits show up in MVP edit so it is easy to add or replace faces. I know I have to put them into my .BIG file via BIG UI or EAGraph but they just won't show up. What am I doing wrong or is it a system problem with Windows 7? Any help would be greatly appreciated as always. By the way, Jack Hannahan looks like he is wearing lipstick in his newly published face and Michael Brantley is now caucasion. One thing I forgot to mention. When I go to import my data/database file it always finds my .MBE file and imports it but still no pictures or faces. The message in the box where the face should be in MVPEdit is "face not found".....for all of them. Thanks..............Palooka1

Hey Dennis: Yes, it worked perfectly. Thanks a lot for your help and the coolest thing about it was I lerarned something. Thanks again..........Palooka :good:

Hey everybody, Recently I opened a forum about how to change my initial splash screen and many of you guys have been super helpful. I got some advice to just use a bitmap of my liking and size and simply rename it 00000000.256. I tried it and it failed becaise it retained the .bmp file extension. So, a friend on our forum told me to turn off extensions in windows explorer but I don't have the faintest idea of how to do that. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. Thank you Dennis, Yankke4life and other who have helped me with their expertice so far. Lend a hand, ifyou will and I'll be greatful. Palooka

O.K....so I guess I go into windows explorer and change it so show file extensions or to not show file extensions. Let me know and thanks for your help, as always.

I tried to do that but it still had the .bmp at the end of the rename and so therefore it wouldn't load that picture. How did you rename the file and change it from a bmp to a 256 file?

Hi Dennis: I used the wrong nomenclature when I was trying to describe what I needed. I DID use your pics of Progressive Field for the CTB Screen and the splash screen and they look great. What I was originally trying to ask for was the 000000000.256 screen. Of course, I found that out after the fact because I wasn't sure what that file was called. But now I do. So , please let me impose on your expertise one more time and ask how I can "transform" a bitmap, jpeg, or whatever form of a pic into that infamous 0000000.256 file screen. And, thank again for the two .big files....man, they look great. Talk to ya later, Joe, MD (mentally deficient) :help:

Thanks Dennis. I will indeed give it a shot. Besides, I just might learn something. You guys are so good at what you do. It just blows my mind.

Hey there: Thanks for the info. I tried several time doing exactly what the instructions stated but kept getting "specified path not found" after I pushed 1 then enter to make an initial splash screen. So, I now know my limits. Thanks anyway for your answers and advice.

The first one is the one that I wanted and tried to us. Thanks so much. :db:

If you have some nice ones to choose from that would be nice. I tried to use the frot entrance view of Progressive Field.....a 760 x 840 bitmap pic. I hate to be such a bother but this is the area of file management I am weakest in. I will appreciate your help.

Yankee4life: Everythig worked out well except the inital picture that displayed when the program first starts. It is really tiny and my desktop surrounds it until it goes to the EAmods screen. What have I done wrong? I simply don't get it. The 000000000....026 that was generated didn't show a preview so that I would know what the thing would look like in advance. When I ran the program you can imagine the surprise as I felt like I was in the Gulliver's Travels commercial. I tried the links for the templates and they all were not found. help...please?

I will try that. Thanks so much for your quick reply.

HI guys: I have a rather simple question but I cannot seem to figure out an answer on my own. The Blue page that comes up with all the credits on it and the Cincinatti Reds player looking at his wrist is the problem. How can I change that picture to one more astheticallly pleasing. When I first downloaded and did the mod in 2011 there was a pic and a white and pinkish color background screen with a guys who had just swung his bat and was looking up towards the sky, How can I replace the "credit" page with another ? I know how to use BigUI and EA graph. I DID try the splash page with the Orioles background but it brought up an error message so I had to remove it and put back in the original bkgnd.big file. Help? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
