Need help with editing the tech trees

[Wartnose]

I have read some of the tutorials of editing the techs but there is a problem i need help finding the source of.

I followed the tutorials like this:
First I copied the tech-advisor pictures in the game and put them in paint. Then I edited them and saved them as "science_[era name].pcx". The problem is that the program doesn't use the picture I made, instead it looks like the latest used advisor screen. My computer uses Windows XP but can't open the original pcx-files (maybe some sort of editing or copying "protection").

Is there anyone kind enough to help me solve this problem?

Could you post a screenie of what is going on? This sounds familiar. Paint doesn't save in pcx format, so the file could be science_xxx.pcx.bmp and not be recognized by civ. Try GIMP at www.gimp.org It's a small freeware program and is great for converting files. (but not much else IMO)
