  • Hurray - eGames came up trumps and gave me step by step instructions to get rid of the adware embedded in the game.:j

    I now have a fully working game :T

    Thanks to all of you who tried to help - I really appreciated the support.

    (And apologies to eGames for ever doubting that they would answer my email.)

    The Adware is also lurking in System Restore: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{8289A8E2-5A97=4C52-B8A9-D11C604DD9DE}\RP75\A0007944.dll Have you gotten rid of that too?
