another difference. You are working on beta versions of a game or three, I

Actually, solving the issue with User Account Control is quite easy, and
there are ways of doing it so it is backward compatible with 98, ME, XP,

The first way is to simply save data to the Application Data folder

Thank you very much for saying that you also appreciate my games.

I appreciate your games as well. NFL and Monopoly are two of my favorite

Thanks for saying that. Bottom line, Vista is a more secure operating
environment. All I am asking game developers to do is look at this and
take this a little more seriously. We have two systems here with

Hi Jim,
I am not trying to flame here, but it just seams though you don't want
to except that standards are changing in the newer Microsoft operating
systems. Game developers, not just you, have been saving to the game's
root directory for years, and Microsoft states that is bad practice.
Hi Che,
You are right up to a point that allot of this is up to personal
preference. However, having multiple user accounts on the system is as
much a matter of system security as much as personal preference. I don't
care if the statistics show that it is 1000 to 1 blind users only use

Hi Jason,
Those UAC prompts can be disabled via msconfig. However, I only
recommend disabling them for major installs of software, and reenabling
them after that.
Yes, it is more secure to have the UAC prompts enabled, but it comes at
the cost of the same level of ease of access as XP.

As for emulation software you won't need it for Vista provided you

Hi Christian,
A few months back I wrote up a Vista compatibility chart. BSC's Pipe 2
and Troopenum 2 are currently incompatible with Windows Vista. From what
I understand the security system Justin uses on those games for securing
sound effects has some known issues under Windows Vista.

Both Troopenum and Pipe 2 do not require the .Net framework so

You know, I think you are on to something. Vista allows an end user to
