That happened to me too! F.Y.I. When I copy and paste that url thing into the command prompt, I srink it down to see the next step. Then I open it again and it says " The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." What did I do wrong!

I myself had this problem, There is a fix but its not reccomened unless you know what you are changing and doing. Myself and sevral others have used the method with no problems:
Allthough please be aware that you are in theory changing the systems Registry ect so you use this method with caution.
1) Open a command window (cmd.exe) and run it as administrator.
2) Browse (cd) to the folder c:\Users\<your user name>\Documents
3) remove the current junction by using
rmdir "My Pictures"
4) re-add the junction by using
mklink /j "My Pictures" "c:\Users\<your user name>\Pictures\"
Or....
when you open the command prompt, type the following:
cd "c:\Users\<your user name>\Documents"
rmdir "My Pictures"
mklink /j "My Pictures" "c:\Users\<your user name>\Pictures\"
With quotes and everything.
If done right you should have the following:
If not Do a system restore to replace the orgonal file placment ect and try again. DO NOT just rename the "pictures" folder to "My Pictures" It wont work as you will not create the prefix needed. If your still not understanding search on the atari forums for Billboard Fix and theres a thread with a video exsplain and showing what to do

This is the correct method for fixing your problem. :grin: But anyhow, I trust this method also. As with anything always be aware of what it is you are doing. I had to reference this because I forgot how. Thanks Shaun.
Vista sure is.. different to put it nicely. o.O
*ponders of compatibility issues*
But I'm managing with it. RCT3 seems to run great on here.
I'm hyper today forgive me.

I need help getting the music in.
It's an MP3 file and it won't work. I'm putting it in the RCT3 folder in my music folder and it won't show up in the game. I checked the box that says Use music from My Music/RCT3 folder and it still won't show up in the game. I also have Vista.

The file needs to be .wma. Also, since this is on Vista, you need to go to the command prompt (CMD.EXE) and enter "Cd C:\Users\<username, or "owner" if you're on the first account that was set up>\Documents". Once that's done, punch in "rmdir My Music". Now, go back to Documents and create a folder titled "My Music". Click and drag any other .wma files into it. That's all!

RE: RCT3 help on VISTA! - ktayah - Apr 3, 2010
Its really easy thing to do just go to C:\Users\ADMIN\Documents
Once there add a new folder called "My Pictures" by right clicking, click "new"
and "Folder". Then add all the photos you want in game into that by copy paste. It should work if not PM me
