Question for Windows Vista Users

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

I'm having problems trying to switch the show banners feature off. No matter what I do, I can't. One of my hypothesis is that the problem is related to some issue with Windows Vista since I never had problems with Windows XP. Could any Vista user try to do the change and confirm this? Thank you in advance.

I've been trying to turn banners off but can't find where to do this - the 'preferences' files is blank! Am I looking in the wrong place? Or is this a 'Vista' thing?

So SBH, you have the same problem, it seems. If a third Vista user has the same problem, then we could definitely confirm my hypothesis. Thanks for the reply, man.

Vista doesn't like changes to Program Files. I am going to try a few things: save change to preferencesnew file, delete existing preferences file, rename preferencesnew to preferences. Also I am going to try going into the virtualstore filw under user (hidden file) so make unhidden changing property of folders and in there make the change on the preference file. I know that sounds odd, but vista has quirks and any game I install seems to have duplicate info in that virtualstore file so I am unsure where the gam eis being run from. I will post results tomorrow
