I had kept switching to the Load/Save Tab - thus missing the intermediate 'commit' step.

I was right, even though I have extensively read through the Mobhack Help file, after printing it off and highlighting important info, somehow still missed the easy stuff.
As I figured a D'oh moment.

Yeah, I have installed the game in a dedicated games folder - as I never put it under program files.
I use Vista Basic - but what a POS it is. Still can't play any of my old PC games that are Win95/98 format or earlier.

Thanks again.

PS: Who do I point out errors/spelling mistakes in the Mobhack Help file to?

Did you try moving these old games out of the /program files/ managed hierarchy?

(I had to do that with the Borland Builder C++ development system. Basically - any old game or programme that does not know about Vista or more installation, should be installed under c:\Old stuff\... it appears)

Also - if the windows compatibility tricks do not work for any 256 colour palette games - then try modifying the supplied CMD file for that game. The Aero desktop interface seems to think it owns the 256 colour palette post vista, so it has to be nuked.

Cheers
Andy
