Hi, As a user of Jim's games under Vista one thing I have found with his games if you want to keep the security of User Account Control and play his games it is a good idea to install the games to your local directory tree. For example, my user name is Thomas so all of my Kitchens Inc stuff is installed to c:\users\Thomas\Kitchensinc which is easy enough to do. instead of accepting the default install path install the Winkit and games to your local directory. The reason why I do this is I do not want to disable the User Account Control feature of Vista which is a very good security feature built into Vista. With it on sometines it will effect the operation of Jim's games such as saving settings and saving games. With it in your local directory User Account Control will leave the programs alone. However, if you choose to disable User Account Control then accepting the defaults are fine. Jim's games will operate as well as they did under XP. Cheers.
