I’m guessing the file you are trying to open is not the one you saved. What did you call it? Which folder did you save it in? Try using Windows search to find ext within the file – look for a unique word that might be in the file. Then move that file to your desktop or tohe quizboxes\quizzes folder and try loading it from there.

Its pretty frustrating as I spend about 2 hours researching the questions and answers. Where did i go wrong? and can I recover the quiz?

Therefore, you should make your questions shorter, Alternatively, click on Instructions at the top and find out how to make your whole question an image file, then you can create a image file as your question with as much text as you want – but remember, the contestants (students) need to be able to read it!

Some of the questions I have are too long, the last lines can’t be seen anymore. :(
Thank you! :)

Yes, you can play three different style games, 6 column, 4 column or two column. See here: http://quizboxes.com/2008/08/16/jeopardy-v31-introducing-the-quickie/

Does your PC play the sounds when you open other boxes and when you mark right or wrong? Would need to know what the exact error says. Could be that the MP3 file for that box is corrupted or missing (special.mp3 and it should be i the sounds folder). Perhaps a fresh install might fix it? If not, try another computer.

thank you for this wonderfull game, very generous of you to share it!!

I have two questions:

Is it possible to use less than 6 categories?

When I run the game and hit the button with a super quiz box the game closes itself and I get a small window that says runtime error? Is the capacitty of my computer too small??

Greetings from Hamburg Marianne

Turn that off and it will behave just fine.

I’m not sure where I read it on the website before, but I was having the same problem with my screen resolution. I am an XP user, so I right clicked on the “Stu’s Quiz Boxes” icon, went to compatibility, and checked off to run the game in compatability with windows 2000. Problem solved!

Thanks for a great game Stu. I’ll submit a quiz soon : D.
