Thank you very much. I don't bother with UAC anyway, so the UAC issues won't affect me. I'll definitely get the winkit file though so it'll work properly. I had a thought. Does anyone know how to get Blankblock to work under Vista? I've been told it's an awesome game, but poor me can't try it as I get a run-time error when I try to launch it! Will winkit fix this?
