hmm uac is for security I think I will use the install programs in a
folder on my account.
For one thing it means they will run.
for another no one can access my stuff.

Hi.
It's possible there are problems related to that, but it also works
well if everything is right. I have a Toshiba and an HP both of
which run 7 x64 and I can run any of the Kitchens Inc games with no
problems at all.
Jim I think someone already mentioned this, but Josh can try putting
your games in his documents folder or somewhere similarly associated
directly with his user account and running them from there to see if
that works better. He can also hit the context key on the .exe file
for your game and choose troubleshoot compatibility. If he messes
around in there long enough I'm banking he'll probably get it to go.
Me I run with UAC turned completely off. I wouldn't recommend this
to anyone though, I'm just saying that might be part of what is
making things work nicer for me than perhaps others. Putting the
games in the documents folder might possibly help to get around the
problems UAC can introduce with older programs that aren't aware of
how to operate in a UAC environment. As it is, I have a program or
two which are older and not maintained but which I use very often.
Also those programs need to run from the program files folder
instead of program files x86 even though they aren't x64 programs.
Me personally I keep on having problems where UAC has a weird way of
blocking things from happening inside the program files folder but
doesn't prompt me the user to allow it. What ends up happening is
sort of cleaver, but it's very annoying and hard to work around. The
files changed by the program in question appear only for that
program. Indeed if you open a fie inside program files with a
program and then save it, you get another copy of that file which
that program will be the only one that can access. You can't even
find it if you go to windows explorer. I worked for a couple of days
trying to work around this and he best solutions were running the
program as admin which brings up a UAC prompt every time you start
the program or turning UAC all the way off which is what I have
done. At least I haven't got large piles of sensetive data on my
computer and I have an easy way to restore it as I have already had
to do once. I still run security essentials and keep the windows
firewal turned on at least.

Hi Jim,
Might I throw one more suggestion at you. Josh specified he was
running Windows 7 64, but didn't state if his version of XP is 32 bit
or 64 bit. This might be a critical detail as I know I'm having issues
with 64 bit machines as I only have access to 32 bit software and
libraries, but when I released some betas of MOTA we've had some
issues on 64 bit platforms. Its possible because your games are
designed for a 32 bit environment they have issues on a 64 bit
platform.

Hi Valiant8086,
Thank you very much for your suggestions. It sounds like Josh has tried
those, like my winkit.zip etc, but no go. But he says that he also has a
virtual Windows XP as well and the games run fine there.
Thanks again and BFN
