would you consider turning it off temporarily to see if the game functions correctly?
Turning off UAC is not as scary as it seems...

blame Microsoft - Vista is a damn mess. Find a copy of Win XP it is better.

Hehe. I would love to. (Don't get me going on all the things I prefer about XP.) But, it is like blowing against the wind.... There was a time where I used to buy the various parts of my new computers and assemble them and then put software on etc. (As hard as this is to believe now...) Today, I can't match the prices / time savings of buying a Dell (or whatever) box with everything pre-installed. Unfortunately, it is really not possible to buy new computers with XP in Australia anymore. But, this is all irrelevant when considering a product that was indicated for use on Vista as well as XP. I am hopeful that things will work out in coming weeks. For the time being, however, RtV is off my computer....

Lucky,
I am bound and determined to find a solution for you.
So here is something else to try.
Have you ever heard of Virtual PC?
If not let me explain
It allows you to run a different OS in a window... so that games and such that require older OS's can run
Virtual PC is free and can be downloaded at Microsoft.
If you have a copy of an older OS (like XP, ME, 98 or 2000) then i think that we can get this up and running for you.
IF you want more details (i can help you install this) just let me know.
I don't want to see you have to wait to play this game.
Corey

Thanks for the info. I will definitely check into virtual PC if the patch does not resolve the issues -- I do have w98 and xp for my old comps... Thanks for your consideration, though.
p.s., how is balmy Ottawa? I lived there for almost three years. Nice city.

Ottawa is nice.... a balmy 19C right now.... I have never lived here before being a native Montrealer.
