You said at one point you were using WEU. If you're trying to open a WEU map with WE, it won't open.

Well a way to tell is to go to our spell forum download a map then try to open the map you downlaoded from the spell forum with your WE.. If it opens the maps are corrupted.. if it dosen't you have a messed up warcraft disk.. and might have to buy a new one.

Edit:Yeah I don't trust WEU... I've seen way to many problems with it...

i been using WE for the past 5 months

i rarley use WEU and thats only once i'm to lazy or pissed at WE

No, WEU is fine. I use it all the time and never have probs. If I do, I know exactly what's wrong with it. WEU is outdated atm, so you have to patch to the version it was made on to use its full features, otherwise it is going to corrupt your maps. It's still fine, but there are some rules to WEU

Never ever use its advanced triggering features. WEU add-ins are fine, but if it says advanced by it, don't use it.

When increasing the # of tiles used, always open the map after you are done and hit save. If you don't, the map size will increase from 50 kb to 300 kb.

Never ever use the no limits patch with WEU as that is for an older patch. If you do, it will crash WEU the moment you hit save.

Other than that, it's just peachy : )

Also, you won't be able to open maps from WEU on an editor like WE.

But it does save time. I don't have to code out in JASS anymore : ), I can just say point - remove.

Oh well. I just read another post where you said you were using WEU, and if you are using it, you can't open WEU maps with WE.

Oh, interesting, ok.

Well, you haven't told me enough yet. Since you re-installed wc3, I would suggest using a virus scanner. It sounds like a worm. Otherwise, the file might have corrupted. If you keep getting crit error'd, heh, I'd go into the source and look for any anomalies.

man WE makes me mad sometimes. it was a temporary error. Note to self don't open WE till 20 minutes after installing wc3 from now on.

That error still shouldn't have happened. I would suggest running a virus scan.
