M'44 VM's Scenario problems with Vista?

[HirooOnoda]

One other thing, that could be related to how Vista works. I found that although my games ran without reinstalling them when I got a new PC with Vista, those that weren't installed on the Vista machine had a game path into the program files folder but the games themselves ended up in a program folders x386 which has much more limited restrictions on them there - I have heard a lot about Vista not allowing games in the program folders to be updated.

So anyway, running the updates on many of the PzC games resulted in the patch not being applied as it tried to do it in the wrong folder so make sure that the game when running is showing the version you think you installed, and if not make sure the install points to where the game really is, or it won't ever update it.

Thanks for your input Rick. The problem is that the game has been updating though. When I'm in the game it says I'm playing with the most current updated version of the game.

For a while I was able to play another one of VM's games PBEM with another person, then that too started giving me the same problem.

This is very puzzling as I've tried everything I can think of.

I can open the game and play the same scenario by myself, it just doesn't like PBEM games!

Go figure.
