Mods with Vista

[Husar]

Erm, I had that before, my homebanking program is a 14-day trial and to activate my purchased copy I had to copy a licensing file into the main directory, simple task you may think, not so in Vista.
I copied the file in there and all seemed fine, but the program was still in trial mode. I then gave full access to the file for my user account and tried again, same story. Only when I turned the UAP off completely did it work and the program went to standard mode as it should.
Similar story with my Medieval.preferences.cfg file which consisted of only three lines even after repeatedly starting and playing the game. I just had a look again and it's now full of settings as it should bem, but it was not before I turned the Account Protection off. Turning it off also got rid of thousands of prompts whenever I tried to copy something or whenever a program started another one. Of course that's some nice protection, but I could live without it in XP already and my computer wasn't suddenly full of viruses. And I'm curious whether any patch will ever change that, it's something vista does and not something that has to do with the game, if it was easy to work around by programmers, it wouldn't really stop a virus either.
Just my observations, do what you want with them.
