When I click the Import icon and click a map and click "load" nothing even happens. Note: I am trying to load the ones that came with WWP.

Mr Zippy Duke,
I've found that importing isn't the best. Many people think it is, but it takes so much more time. Simply open the map in paint, then save as a png directly into the saved levels folder.

Paint can't save files as .png though. You'd need something like fireworks to export the file as the correct format of PNG.

What are you talking about?> Paint can definately save as PnG. Or at least it can on my computer. But even my computer is pretty old. go to the dropdown menu, and click. PNG, or simply type .png after the thing you want to save it as. It should work find.

I thought you had Win ME...

I have Win ME and I can't save as a png

I get someone else to save them as a png if I can

used to have win ME, we left that behind though months ago. XP is much better, hardly crashes at-all in comparison. I think microsoft took a step in the right direction there.

Well, if your paint can't save as PNG, try downloading the Paint Shop Pro trial version. It can save an image as .PNG and also it's a very nice tool of map making.

Oh wait, you got WWP? PNG maps don't work in WWP. Don't try the things that others mentioned, except if you got W:A.

If you look for a freeware program to do this, check xnView, it's a acdsee-like program, totally free, with great viewing and converting abilities.
