Hello again Gents,

 

My, you Gents are on the ball here!  Not now . . . RIGHT NOW! 

 

I created the file in Word and saved it as a txt file.  Verified.

 

The file has been placed in the config folder for PG.  There isn't another autoexec file in that folder . . .  I just created this one.  Verified.

 

I had not created this file before now, as such: it didn't 'work before', as it didn't exist before now.

 

The file name is: autoexec.cfg    Verified.

 

Scratching head . . . hmmmmm.

 

Again . . . thanks!  I would really like to be able to see the darn meter over sand and water.

Try copy & past the contents of the file using notepad.  Save as a "txt" file & exit.  Change the extension of the file to "cfg".

If that doesn't work, I'll post my file and you can delete the stuff that you don't need.

If you didn't delete the txt and replace it with cfg then you have actually created a file called autoexec.cfg.txt but you can't see the .txt extension because you have file extensions hidden. These are hidden by default on Windows. Google 'show file extensions' to find out how to do this.

Ahhhhh . . .

 

That worked just dandy!   Had no clue about 'hidden file extensions'.  You were right, it was saved as a .cfg.txt file and I could not see that.

 

Now I can edit with my colors if I want.  I will try the color you configured first.

 

THANKS A BUNCH GENTS!!! 

 

Perhaps now I will have a gasp of a chance getting out of sand traps!  (don't hold your breath): I am a definite Hacker, but enjoy the game a great deal.

 

Kevin G.   THANKS!!!!!
