windows 7 blocking files - Ivan - 08-30-2014

Anyone else had this problem. I've installed some mods but I get 'unable to open file' error when ending turn. It seems my computer has blocked all the scenario files because they were 'created on another computer'. It gives an option to unblock but will be time consuming on every file as it involves right clicking on each one. Anyone know a solution?


I should have said windows 8 not 7.

I found a fix, if anyone has the same problem let me know.

I haven't had the same problem, but it would be useful to know the fix for future reference.

OK, I installed the RV Ironx mods. For some reason I was getting can't open file as 'created on another computer'. The fix is top right click on the folder with all the game files, click send to archive. Delete original folder you created then unzip the archive where the original was. This fools the security software for some reason. All files now unblocked and working.
