I have a Win 7 installation on this system too but all the games are still on Vista and I wasn't considering taking the leap before at least how it works was more clear to me (e.g. to avoid repeating the same scheme in Win 7). As my Win 7 ca, "see" Vista's disks, I tried to launch the game from there and it worked but it also requests me to confirm if I allow to "run this unknown code" (the famous UAC for consent under Amdin accounts).I asked and I have been advised that you should upgrade to Windows 7 as it has "more lenient admin rights" and "won't ask for admin privileges".
Whilst you consider that, can you upload the .exe file of the program please? Attach it with your next post. I'll have a go at changing the manifest inside it to force it to run under a standard account. I've never done this before - or anything like this in fact - but its worth a shot

As far as modifying the exe is concerned, after reading the post following yours, are you sure you still want to do that ? Besides, it appears that 4 .exe are in the "/bin" folder of the game with some .dll's and more. here is what this folder looks like:
The setup process creates a shortcut pointing to UpdaterRun.exe.Code:Directory of C:\Program Files\Frogster\Mythos\bin 21/07/2011 04:47 <DIR> . 21/07/2011 04:47 <DIR> .. 29/12/2010 03:25 167.936 binkw32.dll 24/12/2010 02:39 3.497.832 d3dx9_34.dll 27/07/2011 23:49 82 FileVersion.xml 21/07/2011 04:39 798.720 fmodex.dll 29/12/2010 03:25 492.032 granny2.dll 29/12/2010 03:25 1.568.768 libmysql.dll 21/07/2011 04:47 7.196.672 [COLOR=Blue][B]Myth.exe[/B][/COLOR] 23/03/2011 15:33 258.048 MythosGDF.dll 21/07/2011 04:39 82 NetworkInfo.ini 21/07/2011 04:36 6.238.208 [COLOR=Blue][B]PakTool.exe [/B][/COLOR]21/07/2011 04:34 <DIR> StringMsg 06/01/2011 13:36 2.025 StringMsg.txt 21/07/2011 04:47 <DIR> Update 21/07/2011 04:36 70 UpdateInfo.ini 21/07/2011 04:36 3.293.184 [COLOR=Blue][B]Updater.exe[/B][/COLOR] 23/03/2011 15:10 409.600 [COLOR=Red][B]UpdaterRun.exe[/B][/COLOR] 06/01/2011 07:40 98.304 XPva03.dll 15 File(s) 24.021.563 bytes
The game also can be dowloaded and installed from Mythos Website.
Considering the above warnings, do you need some specific file from my installation ? I can pack it in a 7z archive and attach it.
Thanks again for your support. :-)
Sounds like I better not do it then! You're in much better hands with Richard, I'm sure he'll be able to sort you out

Hello again!
This question has actually been discussed at great length before, and in fact there *is* one solution. However, that solution is not perfect, and you need to decide whether or not you want to use this solution. But to make an informed decision, you must first fully understand all of your options, and their implications.
This discussion is going to include the following topics:
encryption
encoding
passwords
security
layers of security
authentication
mathematics (only if I get carried away in explaining how encryption algorithms work - a fascinating subject - for a simple introduction to the simple RSA: RSA Algorithm Explained Using a Simple "Pencil And Paper" Method and for the proofs: RSA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
polymorphism and encapsulation (only joking about those last two! They are programming terms, and not relevant to this discussion)
Unfortunately, I do not have time to write this now, because I am going to the cinema with my new family
I will be back later today,
Richard
Thanks for taking over Richard

Have fun at the cinema!
Tom
