First thing to do is download zoner's tools and use then instead of the qtools.

then the only thing I see is you did not run vis and rad part of the compile. make sure they are checked off when you conpile.

Look @ http://www.twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=35

thank you i'll see if it works when i get home

[Flare Hal]

thank you lots and lots!!!!!!!!! they started switched off so i didn't think that i should switch them on... thank you!!!!! and your link to zoners compile tools don't work by the way because it says the page does not exist. and i had just tried downloading it from there yesterday anyway before you even told me... so do you know anywhere else i can get them from? also you will be able to update your downloads page
THANKYOU!!!!

It's working for me, try again

[GAMER-X]

google would be a nice place to start

[davik]

okay well first is first... you need RAD and VIS to worx there buddy get zoners tools as suggested. then set them up and then try running in normal and make sure vis and rad are on normal or HIGH because i had same problem until i realized they were off the whole time -.-
