Technobabble: Some libraries super liam uses are dx8vb.dll (the directx 8 vb runtime) and another ActiveX control used for sending scores (either wininet.ocx or msinet.ocx). If the installer isn't setting them up propperly you should transfer them from another machine with them installed by finding them in windows\system32 and. Place them in the same folder on your vista machine (windows\system32) and run regsvr32 on them like so: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\dx8vb.dll regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\msinet.ocx You probably need to be admin to do this, or respond to a UAC prompt. I run Liam ' free games under Windows 7. I installed Shades of Doom and stopped getting errors afterwards. Unfortunately I can't run them from the desktop shortcuts as I get a "could not load sounds/soandso.ogg. the error code was 6. Fix it now!" error; I have to manually navigate to the folder I installed them to and run the executable.
