I appreciate your time, and look forward to sharing my fix, if it is easier than uninstall/reinstall.
Thanks

Are my edits overwriting the new scenarios from somewhere in the editor?

It would have helped to know which spscn201 file you were refering to.... DAT, CMT or TXT but no matter for now but the master game's CMT is

I'm hoping someone else with Vista experience will jump in here becasue I'm betting this isn't going to be an isolated incident and others with VISTA are going to have trouble. It almost looks like it's reading files from somewhere else so one thing you might try is searching for that file and see if it's anywhere else.

In your case you know you had personal scenarios and knew right off there were problems. Right now becasue Vista seems to have a mind of it's own on this issue we REALLY do not know if the corrected scenarios were installed correctly either and I don't have any specific examples for any of those scenarios for you to check so here's what I suggest

Re-run the patch but install it in a TEMP folder. Name it winspmbtv5 temp of something like that. When it's done putting all the files there check the scenarios folder it created. It should report there are 213 objects. Copy every file in that folder to your actual game Scenarios folder.

That should solve your problem but doesn't answer the question WHY this happened. Hopefully we'll find out soon

I would gladly help, but I have no problem with my Vista 64 installation (this or any other game).

I have to say, the change with the airborne troops/crews was a stroke of genius.

Never too late, so thanks for the update! Great work (again)!

And thanks for the 8383-4697=3686 new icon slots! Now we're talking!

I like the unexploded cluster rounds showing up as mines. It means you can't blithely zip across areas where the enemy wasted their cluster any more.
