Hi Angela.
I wonder if this is the visual basic problem which many people have found
trying to play old games while running vista and windows 7.
There are several components (noteably the visual basic runtime libraries),
that shipped with xp, but not with vista or 7.
No need to worry though. Just go to www.kitchinscin.net and download the
winkit.exe file. This creates a directory to run all of Jim kitchin's free
games, but more than that it installs the components needed to run them,
which are also needed to run many other older games too.
Often if someone has a problem running an older game on windows vista or 7,
just downloading and installing winkit will fix it and this is probably what
you should try first.
hth.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] runtime error
Hi,
I was wondering if any of you guys could help me. We have a computer
running Vista Home Basic, 32-bit. When we try to use it to play some of
the older games like Finger Panic and Light Cars we get a runtime error.
runtime error 429. Active.Exe cannot create object.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Angela
