Windows Vista Technical Support

Ya, it's another really annoying idea that programs shouldn't be able to write into their own folders. Sigh. Hmm, Linux.

Thanks for the link Jazzepi. I had not read that article.
I work as system admin for a small county. We have 30 PC's running mostly XP and a few stragglers running Win2000 & 98. We will not be switching to Vista until there is absolutely no choice. It brings very little to the table except added expense and an incredible array of problems in incompatibility with existing software.

The more that the operating system tries to hide and help, the more it confuses and hinders. The added security is great, but the delivery and implementation is very foreign to existing users. It strikes me as driving Ford brand passenger cars for years with the steering wheel and driver's seat in the front and then when you buy the new model they are suddenly located in the back seat because it is generally safer and puts more distance between you and the car in front of you.

I just saw an article in the news where Intel has decided to NOT upgrade its office desktop to Vista. It will remain WinXP.
OUCH!

Yep. Too bad I didn't see such papers before installing Vista on my new PC. Gimme my XP back !!!

I had a very similar problem with this VirtualStore crap when I tried to find the savegame folder to send my pretender off. Assuming it doesn't cause any other problems, I just made a link to the folder and called it good for now. What a frustrating five minutes that was, though. I guess I haven't played much Dominions multiplayer on my new computer.
