I followed the guide to step making flawlessly up until it said open notepad (done) go to save as musicname.dwi (done) go to the scroll bar and choose "all formats". Uh oh, I only have "all files" now when I try to save as a .dwi it saves as .dwi.txt which is definately not right. Any suggestions/solutions/comments? I'd love to make some good classic rocks songs for FFR but I seem to have a little trouble getting off the ground.

I apologize for also posting this in the DWI forum but I didn't notice this forum before, so I posted here where it would seem more appropriate.

I found my answer on my own. And for anyone who has the same problem and is wondering what to do edit the document outside of notepad. Meaning look at the document on the desktop or wherever you put it and delete the .txt off the end. Then open it and say "open with notepad" It will fix the problem.

umm no..
how about all files is the same as all formats... so just select all files then do musicname.dwi and it will work..

Actually, that doesn't always work, depending on your OS. The best way is to just put quotes around the filename. So instead of saving as file.dwi, save it as "file.dwi"

I'm not an idiot just because I'm new, don't act like I'm stupid and haven't tried the obvious. That didn't work for me after multiple attempts so I posted here then continued to try and work it out. I got it to work on my own and I appreciate any usefull help you could have given me.

I hope you used the extension.

And notepad.

And you need to have the "head" to make a DWI functional.

Just double check everything in the guide.
