well, as i was posting this, i had found a DIFFERENT 1.5 installer. And i followed the trem install guide TO A "T" AGIAN.
Now it works as it should.
And lava, i deleted all the C:\appdata\me\GTKRADIANT 1.5.0 logs, actually the WHOLE folder. If it HADN't worked this time i was going to put up the logs. But this build works fine for me. thanks, and SORRY for the pointless post. :eek: :-?
