450's will not work for me!

Post by Callump113 »

Hi there I am having a real struggle to get the 450's the main reason is properly the fact I cannot find mx.exe anywhere I have looked in my Program files and the only thing in there is called "DNA" I am using windows Vista. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated thanks

It should be C:/Program Files/MX Simulator/ or if you have 64 bit it will probably be C:/Program Files (x86)/MX Simulator/.

Rename it to mx.exe, then put it where you deleted the original from. It is recommended to keep a backup of the old since the snapshots aren't fully tested.

Wait, did you delete the MX Simulator folder? You're supposed to delete the mx.exe, then put the one you downloaded in it's place.

No mx.exe is not a folder it's what you start the game with (what you downloaded). Your game won't work if you deleted that folder, restore it from your recycle bin if you didn't already empty it. Let's try this again.

Rename mx-2011-2012-08.exe to just mx.exe.
Open C:\Program Files\MX Simulator.
Put your newly renamed mx.exe file in that folder, replacing the one that's already there.
