Hello Ron , or you can go to
www.tweakuac.com
and download a free program that lets you run User Account Controls in quiet
mode.

Hi Ron,
The problem is that Vista's new user account control management will not
allow you to unzip files to the c:\Program Files directory as a standard
user. You need to run the setup as administrator or disable user account
control to install Jim's games under Vista.
For example, arrow to one of Jim's games and press the context menu key.
In that pull down menu you will get an option for Run as Administrator.
Press enter. UAC will ask you to confirm this action. Tell it to continue
and then the file will unzip in the c:\Program Files\Kitchinsinc folder
normally.
Now, rather than installing your games to c:\Program Files I recommend
installing to
c:\Users\Your User Name\Games
for one very important reason. Windows Vista user account control will not
allow you to save settings, save games, etc to the c:\Program Files
directory. Save games etc need to be saved in your App Data directory or
somewhere else in your local home directories. If this all sounds too
confusing and you want Windows XP functionality back do yourself a favor
and turn UAC management off.
You can do this by going to the control panel, selecting user accounts,
and going to user account control. Uncheck it, restart,the system and
problem is gone.
Smile.
