Yet another Pandoras Problem.

[LFFPicard]

Ok this one is slightly different.

I had everything setup and running before, but since i have got a new pc and not played for some time.

I have restored all my RunUO backups, i have a custom map and boxserver installed on it.
It is all as it should be according to the posts i have found.
When i make a profile in Pandora's after replaceing the .exe i choose no to custom map like i have been told. point it to my UO directory and when it goes to make the map images i get a error for each map

"An error has occured and map 0 has been disabled in this profile. Please review the log for further information"

the same for map 0,1,2
I skipped box server for the moment and once clicking finish i geta .net framework error.

I have everythign upto date and if i rememebr i have the latest version of Framework (3.0) *checks* yes 3.0

Is this simply just a problem with .net 3 and i have to remove it or is it something more serious?

I have re-installed pandoras many times, so i am leaning towards .net just need some advice befor ei remove .net3 as a last resort

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

EDIT:

Removed Framework 3.0 and restarted my machine and still the same error.

.net 3 hasnt caused me any trouble at all with pandys. Do you have .net 1 installed? It requires .net 1 to run. I have all 3 .net's installed and no troubles at all. Also, are you using XP or Vista? I know pandys runs fine on XP, but I have no idea if it works on Vista or not. Most things dont seem to. But then, I only use Ver. 2.0.0.5. Not sure how many have actually gotten .6 to work right. I gave up trying and went back to .5.

[LFFPicard]

I am on XP
I have all 3 .nets installed

As i said it all worked before but this was all backed up on a cd.. maybe it is because i am using beta7

You need to get the new MapViewer.dll that is found later in the beta thread.
