You forgot to mention that you fixed the COB import problem as well :) BTW: you might want to deleate the other post before some one whines about getting and error on the link ;o -SMT

oops! I see you already did!

Oops. Yes, I missed that one out. It's in the list on our website, though... Thanks for the note. Steve.

Alright, Mr. E-on, thanks! :) -Mike

Ummm... but all of a sudden my Schefflera doesn't want to work again. :( It was working fine until this latest patch....

Heee x3!!!...very very funny Mike!....I mean Vue!...why not delete your Schefflera and reinstall just that and patch again. All my vegetables are deliciuosly working :)

Question, if we downloaded the beta patch, should we download the official update also? Sharen

Download the release version and unzip it directed over to your Vue installation folder where the Vue .exe is.

That's the thing--- although I still have my Schefflera serial number, along with all the other serial numbers which came in the same email since I bought all those additional veggies the same day, I can't find my original Schefflera zip file! So, how do I re-install? In any event, it should work. Something between the last beta patch and this new one went wrong, because it WAS working.... sigh.... And Sharen, I think the patch is meant to be installed over the beta

You know what's so funny though? I don't even like the Schefflera-- it looks like a weed, LOL! But I still want to be able to use it anyway. :)

It does look better than the yucca :)

This is good news I can update mine before playing now. It was shipped yesterday, 3 day shipping so it should be here Friday. Is it just me or has this been a really looong week :)

Tesign, I know how to do it, but thank you, I just was wondering if we already downloaded and installed the beta patch (the second one), should I bother downloading this update? Sharen

Sharen, this newest patch is the final version of the Vue 4.01 patch. The previous one was a "beta", and this one is, I guess, a patch to the patch (lol). in any event, it's safe. Unzip it to an empty folder, and then open the folder which was unzipped, then copy/paste it into your main Vue 4 directory. Overwrite all files when asked. It works. :)

Oh Mike....you don't have to cut and paste...just unzip it to that path where you have Vue 4 installed....this mean.

Yeah, you're right Bill. But, I've grown so leery of improper directories in ZIP files though, that I always find out what's in them and place them myself, manually. At least THEN I know who to blame if something goes wrong. :)

Hmmm...never thought of that ;~)
