Hello, I was playing Area 51 last night, and I was almost through with the game and this morning when I tried to run it, it wanted to 'Repair the game' in InstallShield Wizard, and then it said that the installation was interrupted. This is a common problem with Vista I've heard - the installation being interrupted thing - and I just need to know if I should go through the special process of installing it on Vista or jsut not play it again? I was jsut starting the level Now Boarding, if that helps things.

Older versions of InstallShield has compatibility issues on Windows Vista and currently there is no way to work around these issues.

While the software im sure might work on Windows Vista, the installer used for the game will not work.

Okay, so should I just go through with the normal and special process of installing Area51 for Vista? And, if so, will this wipe out my old saved games?

What you could probobly do is save your data to a disck, install it on vista, then put in the Area 51 vista file
