Another issue with @#$%#$ VISTA
Has anyone run into this:

VISTA is not saving my PBEM .dat file directly into the PBEM folder. I can only see it by clicking on the "Combatibilty Files" button in the explorer window. I have found that VISTA will, seemingly at random, pick some files compatible with older Windows versions and save them in a "virtual file".

The game plays fine, but the only way I can compress with WINZIP is to move the .dat file to my desktop. Then compressing it. That is a bit of a pain, but nothing I can't live with.

I was also getting the "Walt Disney threw-up" effect on my main menu screen at game start-up. This seems to be remedied by changing the display settings from High 32-bit to Medium 16-bit.

So if anyone else has run into this and has a better fix I'd like to hear it. And while I enjoy simplicity, please no "Go back to XP, schmuck" responses - as I can't do that right now.

Thanks,
