Hi Kirstan,
Welcome back to the list. You've been away quite a while. :D
As far as running mud clients they all have the same problem on
Windows 7, and there are a couple of quick and dirty fixes for that
problem.
In Windows 7 if you have User Account Control enabled it refuses to
allow the mud client to save data to c:\Program Files and c:\Program
Files (x86) which can be a real hassle for older programs. The easiest
solution for said problem is to go to the search box in the Windows 7
Start Menu, enter UAC into the search field, press enter and it should
bring up the UAC settings dialog. Set it to 0 and reboot. This will
disable your User Account Control security, but it will allow programs
like Mush 4.84 to run correctly on Windows 7. However, as a general
rule of thumb you probably don't want to disable UAC because you are
essentially disabling part of your system security for backwards
compatibility's sake.
Now, if you want to keep UAC and run something like Mush one way to do
it is to go to the Start Menu, find the icon for the client you are
using such as Mush, and right click on the icon or press the Windows
Context Menu key. You will get a menu of options. One of them is Run
As Administrator. If you select Run As Administrator it will override
UAC for that application but will continue blocking other programs
like viruses etc which is the best way to get around UAC for older
games and other applications.
Cheers!
