Region Regeneration Errors?

[po' ruffian 0]

Hi all, I’ve spent the best part of 3 hours downloading New York region maps from the great St-Exchange, but with each one I have got a Region regeneration error.  It always says it is larger than 1025X1025, and I cannot seem to find any solutions on google, and I'm a complete computer illiterate.

Does anyone have any advice? I’m looking for a map that’s a lot more accurate than the one Maxis released with the game.

I appreciate any replies.

With the game shut down.

Create a new folder in the C:\My Documents\SimCity 4\Regions folder.

Name it with the name of the region you would like.

Copy the config.bmp file there.

Start the game, load the region you just made.

Do the key press [shift ctrl alt R] browse to the grayscale [*.jpg] and select it.

If the name of the grayscale doesn't show in the selection box below when you select it,

you will need to type the name of the grayscale.jpg in the box.

Make sure the config.bmp file has that exact name.
