Thanks Rip, I'll give that a try.

I know that Vista had pushed the idea of it's "Game" folder being the location for game installs. (I put the SH4 in the default C:\Program\Ubisoft directory.) I'm wondering if that location (the "Game" folder; besides the C:\Ubisoft\Silent..... )would do any better? Since this is a new install, onto a new computer, I've not purchased "new" Vista games that are Microsoft tested and proven to see where they are automatically placed. I wonder if making the file something other than "Read Only" in the "Properties" would help?
