In order to make amend
I must say that when I followed all the rules there was one that I was too STUPID to understand correctly
I was installing using " run as administrator "
BUT FAILED to do the same for the running of the sim
so it was bitching
the odd thing is that I always have done that and sometimes it worked ,that is the nasty thing with MicroSad it is not consistant
I must say thank you( A BIG ONE )to
Ian Rogers
I use Oshonsoft on Vista..... You MUST install as administrator or it will never work... You can't even run as administrator if it wasn't installed as instructed
It pays to read the forums thanks to all
Now on to the other problem ( external modules)
I am open to all suggestions big or small I am first trying an original vista installation WITHOUT ANY UPDATE
