Hi, First, i think I should clarify a couple of things. Just in case anyone gets confused here is clearer explanation of what I was talking about. In Windows Vista all applications typically save their settings in the c:\Users\User Name\App Data folder, which use to be the c:\Documents And Settings\User Name\Application Data folder under Windows XP, and where Vista expects to find settings for games, and other programs. Each user should have his her on local settings rather than globally saved to say c:\Program Files\Kitchensinc. However, if you have Vista setup as a single user, only one account, you should haveno problems with any games since you will have Administrator rights. However, if you have multiple user accounts then you are going to encounter problems with several accessible games and not just Kitchensinc games. Any game that needs to write to the c:\Program Files\ directory to save a game, save settings, will be denied by user accoun control for non-administrator accounts. The solution I propose in that case is to install the games locally for a user in some place such as c:\Users\Your User name\Games where "Your User Name" is the user name of the person you are installing the games for. For example, I put my kitchensinc games in c:\Users\Thomas\Games\Kitchensinc\ and have an icon pointing to the winkit file. Since that is a local path for my user name I have no problem saving games or changing game settings. I had a similar problem with GMA's Tank Commander so I installed it to c:\Users\Thomas\Games\Tank Commander and now have no issues saving games. I'll note I have my latop setup for multiple users. I am also running without administrator rights because that is more secure, and aids inthe provention of viruses, trogen horses, and other malware. It is to bad not many of the blind users out there are aware of these security measures, but anyway that is the way my laptop is setup.
