My first post is here instead of in the occasions forum, because I'm hoping to get help with a rather irritating problem.
So I've had RMXP on my desktop computer for years. I originally purchased it back in 2007. Recently, I got back into the program after a long hiatus, and thought it'd be neat to also have it on my netbook (which I didn't have before). I downloaded the trial just to see how well it would run (my understanding is that I will have to pay for it after the trial is over to have it on a second computer; correct me if that's wrong. At least it's down to $30 now...). It works fine, however, it's the newer "version 1.04". Whereas the copy of the program on my desktop is "version 1.02a". This means that projects created/modified on the netbook cannot be opened on the desktop (it throws up the error, "This project is from an old version of RPG Maker and cannot be loaded." Which makes no sense, because it's the desktop version that is the older one, but whatever).
If I cannot work on the same project on both computers, having the program on the netbook is worthless. I have not been able to find any information anywhere on a way to simply update the desktop RMXP to version 1.04, which - if I could do so - would solve this problem, I would think.
Any ideas?
