First, right-click on the MED .exe or the desktop icon you start the MED with. Click on 'Properties', then go to the 'Compatibility' tab. At the bottom, activate the 'Run as Admin" checkbox, then click 'OK'. Do the same thing to the dfbhd.exe itself as well.

Now, open Windows Explorer, click on the 'View' menu, and in the 'Hide/Show' section, activate the checkbox to show 'Hidden Elements'.

(Note: my system is in german, I'm not sure I'm translated the labels above with perfect accuracy, so please think flexibly.)

Then you navigate to this folder:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

The AppData folder defaults to 'hidden', that's why I mentioned the 'Hide/Show' checkbox.

This is where Windows shunts files for some programs that need admin rights to access the hard drive. It's a safety precaution, no matter how annoying it is.

I'm 99% percent sure you'll find this folder in the VirtualStore:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr am Files (x86)\Novalogic\Delta Force Black Hawk Down

In this folder, you'll find your .mis, .bms, dfv.cfg, and dfvplr.sav files; probably a bunch of others. Move them into the real DFBHD game folder.

Now that the game and MED are running as admin, everything should be normal.

Edit: Now that I've read your entire post more carefully, I can tell you that the missing .bin error is a thing with the unlocked MED. You can get rid of that by creating a .bin file for your mission. Search around NovaHQ, you'll find the information you need.
