Windows Vista introduced UAC - User Account Control. And Vista protects your programs from being touched: it does not allow alterations in %programfiles% Hence the 'Permission denied'. Furthermore: try to discover a saved match via Explorer... good luck finding it. There are ways to overcome this behaviour, but it's not possible to do so just for GNU Backgammon alone. Thus I recommend to install GNU Backgammon in another folder, not being %programfiles%\gnubg. Why not install it in C:\gnubg? You won't get 'Permission denied', you'll find your saved matches in notime, ... it's almost as if you have the ease of XP back at your fingers. I would uninstall gnubg and reinstall it in C:\gnubg (NOT ...Program files\...)
