Tool: Advanced Series (GBA toolbox)

well iv got a little problem with the tools DX the didnt work my computer means Its an error of (0-5505) or something like that did you know what that means ?
 
Think you can be specific and help us help you?
May I present to all a nice little thing i would like to call: "The Standard of Bug Reports".
When abreviated in part it is "The SOBR" (S-oh-bur --XD sober, like, not drunk....)
Things that might help us help you

Error Code Number (If available):
Error Description:
--EG: did you get the "send" and "don't send" box and nothing else? If not, then post the message in the box.
Activity Description:
--Not nescesary, but could easily help us find the location of error in the code.
--EG: I clicked on compile, then the program crashed with the said error.
Workarounds (If available):
--Alternative solutions of getting around the problem you may have found that will work until the bug is corrected
Program Name:
Program Version Number you have (if available)
Any Other Info:
The SOBR

Here's the css for that if anyone would like it.
Spoiler:

I don't mean this to be bighting or anything, but people who report crashes with very generic or vague info is starting to become a trend that bugs me. (lol, it bugs me)
@Cynder- can you give us any of the info in The Sobr?

Have you two installed Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 or later? It's needed for the tools to work.

Could you post the sprites you're trying to import?
 
For some reason the download links aren't working for me... are they broken or is it just me?
Probably just me, but I want to double check xD
 
Great program, but whenever I try to write to wrom I get this:

These are perfect, I have been trying to use PokePic and unlz, and those are so buggy, so far I have had no issues, and one thing I don't know if I can change it or if it is set, but on the Sprite Editor when you go to "Import All Images" the text doesn't fit all the way
[PokeCommunity.com] Advanced Series (GBA toolbox)

I'm sure there are more important things to fix first, but I thought it would be nice to know just in case you didn't already.
 
I've joined just for some problems I've been having. One of them was stated above (The one with the long error log), the others I think were stated earlier but I decided to take a screenshot them anyway. The following is all the problems I'm having with the current version or whichever version was last updated in the download links as of this post. The sprite used was 64x64 and individually imported to each stage.

(I just found out I need to have 15 posts or more to post images, so attachments are the screenshots)
