I have discovered something very very strange. Some of the Alawar games I got from Game Giveaway of the Day (but not all) revert to demo mode if you select "Run as Administrator" to run the game in Vista.
I am running Vista32 Ultimate SP2 if that makes any difference.
I discovered it after Avira fixed the false positive for arxon.wrp. I noticed my selection to use Windowed mode rather than Full Screen was being ignored. That's usually a sign that it can't write to the records properly and Admin mode usually solves the problem.
I was SHOCKED to see the "you have 60 minutes to play)" message instead of the game starting directly.
I checked Gamebox to see if that may be why it says some are demo but aren't and it's not consistent. Bloxxit and Arctic Quest do not have this flaw but Cubozoid does. None of these three show as full versions in Gamebox. I have not checked ALL the Alawar Games I have.
I'll see if I can find the config file for Arxon and fix the problem that way.
Can anybody from GOTD explain what is wrong???
