Robert a suggestion - Do you have a computer with hyper-threading? Sometimes hyper-threading can cause issues and needs to be turned off. I had that happen to me. Good luck!

I think you said you've already tried this, but have you right clicked on the game icon and selected "run as administrator?" That will elevate your administrator...

hi Jenny, i tried c:\bigfishgamescache but it still would not run. in fact, i got a message saying 'insufficient priviliges,you must be administrator'. i AM an administrator! robert. Wait a minute. This is a Big Fish game? That changes a LOT. You won't even see the exe file unless you have your computer set to display hidden files. Also, the desktop shortcut doesn't go to the real executable. Instead it starts the Big Fish Game Manager, which starts the game. Changing compatibility on the Big Fish Game Manager will have ZERO effect. You need to make hidden files visible, then go into the install folder and set compatibility on the game exe, which will look sort of faded, but still be visible after you make hidden files visible. Here's one way to get your computer to show hidden files: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/show-hidden-files-in-windows-7/

Try installing into a subfolder of C:\Users\ whatever-your-username-is\Documents\ To run the game as Administrator, right-click the game executable file itself, not the folder the file is in, and choose "Run As Administrator." (As long as it's not a Big Fish game and the shortcut doesn't point to a launcher rather than the executable, you can right-click the shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator.") There could also be an incompatibility with the version of TAGES copy "protection" the game shipped with. The latest version should be compatible with Windows 7, and can be downloaded here: http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm?page=minimum.htm

Robert,
In case it wasn't clear, you can right click on the desktop icon and select Open File Location. That will take you right to the file where you can find the .exe.
