| Triggers don't fire | Case sensitivity | Make sure "Match Case" is unchecked in the trigger properties. |

| Can't save macros | Permission denied | You did not run as administrator. Reinstall to C:\Users directory. |

The installer will likely default to C:\Program Files\MegaMUD or C:\MegaMUD. megamud 103u install
