EJMU Recipe cards - Help!

[newdawn]

I've downloaded and installed EJMU and know how to enter the info. for a recipe, but when I go to save - it won't let me save in the program.  I've had to set up a folder on my desktop where I save them and then copy/paste over to the EJMU program file afterwards.  Not the end of the world, but would be nice if there was an easier way to go about it.

The other problem I'm having is I can download the recipes from the links in the recipes section, but they won't save or open in the program at all.  Looking like I'll have to type out each one, then go through the save and swap carry on to get it stored in the program for later unless someone here knows a better way?

Can't help I'm afraid newdawn as it's not something I bother doing . . . don't know if there are any pointers on Super-Shiny's thread that may be more use to you than me.

The path to save is: C:\Program Files\Breaktru Software\eJuice Me Up, if using windows. Try downloading the cards to that location. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad install.

Your first problem sounds like a UAC issue - some versions of Windows will stop you from writing files to certain places on your computer (for example where all the programs reside). This is supposed to be a security feature to prevent malicious bits of software from infecting the other software on your machine. If you really want to be able to save files there, it can be disabled fairly easily - take your pick of instructions: www.google.co.uk/search?q=disable+windows+uac

As for your second issue, not sure if this is relevant but in my experience EJMU didn't like being associated with its own files in Windows. I always had to run EJMU then use the "open" function from the menu.

Nick is correct. Thanks Nick.
1) Try right clicking the EJMU icon or program link and select "Run As Administrator".
2) Not sure if you are actually opening the recipe with EJMU "File" "Open" or you are trying to open the recipe file by double clicking the ".rec" file in Window Explorer?
The recipes can only be opened with EJMU.
