THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!! 
 I got the program to work but it's reading saves that are not there. 
 I uninstalled M & M 8 and brought up the editor and it's 
 still showing a Might and Magic 8 folder with saves 
 even though the game is not installed. 
 And its letting me edit those saves as well. 
 Reinstalling the game didn't help either. 
 The saves are still there and any saves I create 
 are not listed. Just the old ones are. 
 I sort of fixed the problem by saving the game 
 using a lower save but it's still 
 annoying.
UndeadHalfOrc: Yeah, I forgot to tell you the way it reads the directory is a bit screwy. Make sure to type in full path of your MM8 root folder, NOT the "saves" folder.
