My seeds keep disappearing when I use this... I know I save changes before I close it up. I have read the instructions for it 3 times. There must be some thing I am missing in them. It will keep my seeds all day and I can change seeds back and forth all day But when I shut the computer down at night that is when it happens. the next day the seed are gone. This happens all the time, (every night) even though I save changes. What am I doing wrong. Or is this the way it works.

Are you losing your seeds after refreshing your game stats? If so, please read Borg's post about a new version.

Hi!
I need more hellp with my VSTs. The utility downloaded perfectly, I followed Borg's instuctions on my PT games, I was ecstatic. Today I tried to open both of my VSTs, and all I get is a message that the VST cannot be opened because the file is either not supported or has been damaged.
I went back into the drive C file to be sure the VSt was listed, tried to open it from there, and was told there is no program to open it. I think I am rather computer illiterate, so I am stuck and a bit frustrated. Can someone help me please?
Thank you.

files that end in .vst generally cannot be opened by clicking on them.

what you want to do is run the VST.exe program itself.

if you really want to be able to start up VST.exe by clicking on .vst files, you can google how to associate file extensions with the program you want to open them, but i would advise against it. while doing this will cause VST.exe to start up, VST.exe will ignore the .vst file you chose and instead do what it always does, default to the .vst file of the currently being played PT game.

so, to recap, find where you downloaded VST.exe to, and run VST.exe directly, not the .vst files that store the seeds. if you cannot find where you downloaded VST.exe to, download it again from the guide section of this forum.

my personal preference is to put VST.exe in the same directory as plant tycoon, and then create a shortcut to it on the desktop.

most professional programs come with an installer that would put VST.exe in the correct directory and create a desktop shortcut and even a start button entry and other fancy things. but, sigh, all i have to work with is the free version of visual studios 2005, which does not include those bells and whistles.
