Hi IDNikeSwoosh,

If you haven't done so already, please make sure to post
this issue to the Microsoft.Public.Windows.Vista.Games
newsgroup which is available on this server.

There are a lot of Vista experts there ready to help you. :-)

And if you do, try judicious use of punctuation, a spell-checker and note
that capitals are best used in isolation, at the beginning of the
appropriate words.

Said not just to be picky, but you're more likely to get a helpful response
if people don't have to wade through prose like, "ive went to the gears
official site trie all the fixes..."!!! Try reading back to yourself what it
is you're about to inflict on us before posting it!
