Is q3map.exe in this folder?
D:\DOCUME~1\aboss\Desktop\MOHAAT~1\MOHAAT~1
Are your .map files in this folder?
D:\DOCUME~1\aboss\MYDOCU~1

ok here what happened, in the prog MOH rad, I went to the place near the 'file' and 'edit' etc.. and found the 'bsp', clicked on it, and then clicked on 'bsp_BSP'... then I tried to compile and it didnt complain about the bsp file, however, it DID complain about another file... this is the error:
************ ERROR ************
LoadPortals: couldn't read D:\DOCUME~1\aboss\MYDOCU~1\door.prt
the file door.prt is missing, how can I create it ?

The file should be created by the compiler unless you have a leak in your map. If you have, you should have a .lin file in your maps folder and see the following error message:
*********
LEAKED!!!
*********
Entity reached from outside: no filling
It's very important to fix your leaks. Just do a search and you'll find some useful information.
You should be able to play your map even if it has leaks though. Did you try it?

After a compile, use file -> pointfile... to trace the leak. Just follow the red line 8)
