    Quite right too! ....................... you should be working at work, not messing around playing solitaire

    I guess this must be part of the enhanced security that Vista is supposed to have? I have a variety of security apps that do the same sort of thing.

    My question is, does Vista give the option to remember your answer, and can you set permissions/authorities to give answers?

    Weird i run Doom3 and Half Life 2 both on Vista with no performance penalties. Must depend from system to system. I use NVIDIA 7600 BS card.
